Caldwell v. French

3 N.J.L. 614

Opinion

By the Court.

The credit ought to appear on the face of the account delivered the justice. This not having been done, we must consider the sum in controversy as exceeding the jurisdiction of the justice. The copy of account, or state of demand, required by law to be delivered the justice, forms [*] the ground work of the action; and. constitutes, in courts for the trial of small causes, the declai’ation.

Judgment reversed.
