Syllabus

<p>Affidavit of defense — Practice, C. P. — Set-off—Precision as to averments.</p> <p>1. In affidavits of defense statements of set-off must be made with precision and exactness as to the amount so that the court may not be left in doubt as to the source and character of the claim, and be able to determine the propriety of allowing it.</p> <p>2. Where a statement of claim sets forth various items and admits various credits, an affidavit of defense is insufficient which does not show wherein the admission of credits is incorrect and which does not set forth the dates and amounts of the payments which the defendant attempts to assert.</p>
