Opinion
There is a material variance between the condition of the bond as stated in the declaration, and the condition as it is set out upon the oyer. The declaration omits to state that the rail-road company was to pay on demand. A demurrrer, after setting out the condition upon oyer, is a proper mode of taking advantage of the variance. (Rockefeller v. Hoysradt, 2 Hill, 616.)
Judgment for the defendants.
