Young v. Robinson , 8 Del. 46 ( 1864 )

By the Court:

The statute not only requires that the cause of action, which in this case included the subject or substance of the contract, for the breach of which che action was brought, should have been stated in the record, as the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace is special and limited with reference to contracts, as well as other causes of action, but also the sum demanded in consequence of the‘breach of it, should have been stated, which was not done.

Judgment reversed.
