ALMEDA

v. E. R. RANDALL & CO.

Supreme Court of Rhode Island.

Nov. 2, 1908.

Exceptions from Superior Court, Providence and Bristol Counties.

Action by Frank Almeda against E. R. Randall & Co. A demurrer to a plea to the amended declaration was overruled, and plaintiff excepts. Court will hear arguments on the sufficiency of the amended declaration.

Argued before DUBOIS, BLODGETT, JOHNSON, and PARKHURST, JJ.

Charles R. Easton, for plaintiff.

Waterman, Curran & Hunt (Lewis A. Waterman, of counsel), for defendant.

PER CURIAM. Under the rule announced in Railton v. Taylor, 20 R. I. 284, 38 Atl. 980, 39 L. R. A. 246, a demurrer searches the record and attaches ultimately upon the first substantial defect in the pleadings. It becomes necessary, therefore, to determine as to the sufficiency of the plaintiff's amended declaration. The court will hear arguments on that question.
