"2. For that same is vague, uncertain and indefinite.
"3. For that the articles charged to be 'a suit' is vague, uncertain and indefinite.
"4. For that the property sought to be described in said indictment is not definitely described.
"5. For that the description of the property sought to be described in said indictment is vague, uncertain and indefinite.
"6. For that the property attempted to be described in said indictment is insufficient in law.
"7. For that the word 'suit' used in same does not describe any particular property.
"8. For that the averments in said indictment and each count thereof are naught but the mere conclusion of the pleader." Source: CourtListener
