#### Edmund F. Hogan vs. Creed Taylor.

Tlie judgment cannot exceed the amount claimed in the declaration.

August, 1822.

Per Curiam.

The judgment in this case being rendered for fifty dollars more than the amount claimed in the declaration, is manifestly erroneous, and must be reversed ; it being well established, that a greater amount cannot be given than claimed in the declaration. 1 Chitty, PI. 372; Yelverton, 45; 10 Co. 117 ; 3 Com. Dig-, Damages, E. 3.

Reversed.
