Decided 1851-07-01

Edmonds, J.:

¶1The complaint has two aspects; one the ordinary creditor’s bill under the statute, and the other a bill by a creditor, to set aside an assignment.

¶2In the first aspect it would be necessary, under the statute and the rulings of the Court of Chancery, to allege that the’’ plaintiff had issued the execution to the county where the judgment debtor resided, and it had been returned nulla liona. But in the other aspect no such allegation is necessary.

¶3If it be proper to demur to the complaint in its first aspect, because it does not. show on its face that an execution had been issued to the proper county, it would not be proper to demur to the complaint in its second aspect for that cause.

¶4The demurrer is to the whole complaint in both its aspects, and is therefore too broad and must be overruled.
