Case No. 1,768.

BRADFORD v. GEISS.

[4 Wash. C. C. 513.]¹

Circuit Court, E. D. Pennsylvania.

April Term, 1825.

PLEADING—ANSWER—SUFFICIENCY OF DENIAL.

It is good cause of exception to an answer, that to the denial that defendant has no knowledge of the facts charged, it is not added “that he had no information or belief” of them.

The plaintiff excepted to the answer, so far as it denied that the defendant had any knowledge of the facts alleged in the bill to which the answer applied, without adding that he had no information or belief of the facts.

THE COURT decided the exception to be well taken, and ordered the defendant to put in a better answer.1 New. Ch. Pr.179.
