Prentiss v. New England Box Co.

Check Treatment

The defendants urge that the declaration is defective because it does not state certain facts. The existence of the facts claimed to be essential is conceded; the objection is merely to the failure to allege them in the declaration. A decision that the defendants are right upon the question of pleading would make it necessary to amend the declaration. As such decision could have no other effect, consideration of the question would be of no conceivable advantage to the parties.

When an alleged defect can be cured by amendment of the pleadings, the amendment is ordered without considering whether it is necessary. Hub etc. Co. v. Breeders' Club, 74 N.H. 282, 287; Morse v. Glover, 68 N.H. 119, 120; Sleeper v. Kelley, 65 N.H. 206; Peaslee v. Dudley, 63 N.H. 220.
