34 Colo. 135 | Colo. | 1905
delivered the opinion of the court.
The complaint, which we have copied, speaks for itself. In all substantial respects it is as good as the complaint in the case of Rhodes v. Hutchins, 10 Colo. 258, which was sustained by this court.
It is first objected that the complaint does not state what became of the two payments made on the note. The averment is that they were made and credit therefor given. That is enough for defendant to know. It is no concern of his what disposition plaintiff made of the money, provided he got credit for it, as he did, in reckoning the balance due.
The prayer of the complaint is criticised because the plaintiff $rays for judgment for the face value or principal of the note, together with interest less the sum of $169.10, without naming the dates of payments. It is not necessary that such statemeuts be in the prayer. They already appeared in the body of the pleading. Indeed, the prayer is no part of the complaint, so far as any question raised here is
There was no error in the record, and judgment is therefore affirmed. Affirmed.
Chief Justice Gabbert and Mr. Justice Steele concur.
