whereupon he the said defendant saith that the Court ought not
proceed to Judgment upon the verdict aforesaid for the reasons
following Donaghe against McGarven. And that the defendant by
his attorney prays that the Court would not enter into
Judgment upon the verdict of the Jury aforesaid, because he
says that the same verdict does not persue the declaration but
is informal and illegal and such that the Court here cannot
render Judgment upon; and because the declaration names the
paper offered in evidence and filed in the cause, a promissory
note, whereas it appears to be a single bill and thus
described would not be a bar to future action, for these and
