Opinion

Lore, C. J.:

We think these counts averring “ insufficient brakes and other appliances to stop said car ” are too general. The narr must specify the particular appliance that caused the injury, and especially how the injuries were received—by falling, jumping, being struck or otherwise, which is within the plaintiff’s knowledge.

We sustain the demurrer.

Upon the election of plaintiff’s counsel, let judgment of respondeat ouster be entered.
