Syllabus

<p>Affidavit of defense — Partnership—Sale—Mistake.</p> <p>In an action to recover the price of an interest in a partnership sold by-plaintiff to defendant where it appears that the defendant and plaintiff had been partners for nearly a year, an affidavit of defense is too vague and indefinite which merely avers that the inventory furnished by plaintiff to defendant before the .sale contained false valuations, without specifying the particular items which were falsely valued; that plaintiff had falsely represented that he had several orders, but defendant upon inquiry found that no such orders had been given, and that the terms of unfinished contracts had not been properly disclosed to defendant by plaintiff.</p>
