¶1This is an action to recover the sum of $153 received by the defendants from plaintiff, a pawnbroker, upon the pledge *79of a pair of diamond earrings, the property of a third person other than the pledgor, upon the alleged ground:
“That said earrings were pledged by the defendants and said loan obtained from plaintiff upon a false statement, willfully made, that said chattels were the property of one Mrs. Gibson.”
¶2In order to recover, the plaintiff was bound to allege and prove (1) representation; (2) falsity; (3) scienter; (4) intent to deceive. The complaint omits to aver necessary and essential allegations to sustain the cause of action attempted to be pleaded, and the proof is barren of evidence sufficient to establish a causé of action predicated upon fraud. Proper and timely objections were made, and exceptions taken on the trial, calling the attention of the court to the deficiency in the pleading and the insufficiency of the proof. Marsh v. Falker, 40 N. Y. 562; Arthur v. Griswold, 55 N. Y. 400; Brackett v. Griswold, 112 N. Y. 454, 20 N. E. 376; Fairchild v. McMahon, 139 N. Y. 290, 34 N. E. 779, 36 Am. St. Rep. 701; Kranz v. Lewis, 115 App. Div. 108, 100 N. Y. Supp. 674.
¶3No judgment can be recovered on grounds not properly stated in the complaint. The judgment must be secundum allegata et probata. Bradt v. Krank, 164 N. Y. 515-519, 58 N. E. 657, 79 Am. St. Rep. 662. Tuthil v. Myrus, 57 App. Div. 37, 68 N. Y. Supp. 37; Gordon v. E. & K. R. R. Co., 195 N. Y. 141, 88 N. E. 14.
¶4Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to appellants to abide the event. All concur.
