43 N.H. 164 | N.H. | 1861
The libel in this case simply alleges that the libel-lee from, &c., to the filing of this libel at, &c., has so treated and still does so treat the libellant as seriously to injure the health of said libellant, but contains no specification of the character of the treatment or of the acts complained of.
We hold, also, that in either of the cases above specified, the acts complained of should be stated in the libel with such particularity of time, place and circumstance as to give the libellee notice, not only of the general charge made against him, but of the main facts upon which that charge is to be maintained. We do not mean that no evidence will be received of any fact or circumstance not set forth in the libel, but that the material facts upon which the libellant relies must be substantially set forth therein.
Libellant has leave to amend libel.
