Opinion

By the Court.

— We have often determined that the evidence of a demand cannot be delivered to the justice as the state of demand. But even if this was proper, the certificates contain no cause of action; the most that can be collected from them is, that such damage was done; the certificates do not say that the damage was done bythesheep of the defendant below, but said to be done by his sheep. There ought to be a direct charge. Judgment reversed.
