Pincite

Opinion

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Gantt.

As the law requires that the plaintiff, in a proceeding of this kind, shall distinctly state the circumstances of his case, and as no mention was made therein of this second promise, I am clearly of opinion that no evidence of such promise ought to have been permitted to go to the Jury.

A new trial should be had in the case.

GrimM, Bay, Johnson, and Cheves, J. concurred.
