A Writ of Error was brought to reverse a judgement given in the Common-pleas for an Attorny in an Action upon the Case, grounded upon a promise that the Defendant would pay him such fees as should grow due to him as an Attorny in prosecuting such a Sute for him in the Com∣mon pleas, and for prosecuting another sute for him in Chancery as his Sol∣licitor. The Errors assigned were, 1. That he doth not shew particularly how he hath laid out the mony, but only expresseth it generallly, that he had expen∣ded, and there was due unto him such a sum of mony. 2ly. The Promise is, that the Defendant would pay him the fees so long as he should conti∣nue to be his Attorny and to prosecute for him, and it doth not appear that he continued to be his Attorny, and to prosecute for him during the sute, and to make the first exception good Took and Sir Tho.

adjudged was urged. But as to that exception Roll chief Iustice an∣swered, it is not necessary to shew particularly how the mony became due, and was expended, for this would make the Declaration too long; and though the Plaintiff; as hath been objected, should bring another Action for the same thing, yet you may plead this recovery in bar generally against him. And as to the second exception it shall be intended he continued to be his At∣torny, if it appears as it doth, that he prosecuted for him. Therefore shew cause Friday next why the judgement should not be affirmed. Postea.
