Practice — Bill of Particulars — The provisions of the code penalizing a party for’ failing to furnish a hill of particulars, have no application to the trial in the county court of an appeal from a justice.

Relies on Hughes v. Fisher · De Lappe v. Sullivan

Decided 1909-09-15

C'hiee Justice Steele

¶1delivered the opinion of the court:

¶2In the justice court judgment was rendered against the defendant, appellant here, in the sum of $200.00. The defendant appealed to the county court, where, before the trial, he demanded of plaintiff a bill of particulars. Upon the trial defendant objected to plaintiff giving evidence concerning the account sued upon because a bill of particulars had not been furnished. The court overruled the objection and permitted the plaintiff to testify. The judgment went against the defendant in the county court, from which he appealed.

¶3There is no merit in the cause as presented to us. It is claimed that a part of the account sued upon accrued more than six years before the bringing of the suit. The statute begins running from the last item of an account.

¶4It is also claimed that the court should have sustained the objection to plaintiff testifying because he failed to furnish a bill of particulars. The code provision penalizing the party for failing to furnish *345a bill of'particulars'does'not apply to' trials in tbe county court on appeal from justices of tbe peace. The case of DeLappe v. Sullivan, 7 Colo. 182, is not controlling. Tbe opinion in tbat case was announced when tbe Code applied to proceedings before justices of tbe peace.Hughes v. Fisher, 10 Colo. 383.

¶5Tbe judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.

Mr. Justice Gabbert and Mr. Justice Hill concur.
