Lord and Michell.
Trin. 1654. Banc. sup.
Trin. 1653. rot. 358.
A Writ of Error was brought to reverse a judgement given upon a Ni∣hil dicit in the Common-pleas in an Action upon the Case upon an As∣sumpsit; the consideration was laid, that if the Plaintiff would forbear to sue the Defendant, that then the Defendant would pay such a sum of mony. Two errors were assigned to reverse the judgement, 1. That whereas the consideration is laid generally, that if the Plaintiff should forbear to sue the Defendant, he would pay the mony; the Plaintiff hath not aver∣red this consideration, but saith in facto that he did forbear to sue till Iune, which cannot be the same consideration. 2ly. The Writ of Enquiry is said to be enquired of by twelve lawfull men in the County, whereas it should be of the County, for the Iurors for ought appears may be of ano∣ther County, and then it cannot be well.Roll chief Iustice, This is but an inquest of Office, but you have not averred the consideration as you ought to have done, and this is error. Therefore let the Indgement be rever∣sed, nisi, &c.
Notes
