Opinion

Hall, Judge.

It cannot be expected that the cause of action should have been set forth at large in the warrant. “ The amount claimed, and how due” is shown. It is stated to be for $10, for violating the 28th section of the ordinances of said town. Th is is enough I think to give the Defendant notice of what the complaint was, so that he might have been prepared for trial; on the trial he should be at liberty to prove the ordinance, as •well as a breach of it by the Defendant.

Per Curiam. Let the judgment below be reversed, and judgment entered for the Plaintiff.
