Opinion

Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Stebbett,

We are all satisfied that the averments contained in the affidavits of defense are quite sufficient to carry this case to a jury. The learned court therefore erred in entering judgment against the defendant for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense.

Judgment reversed and a procedendo awarded.
