Syllabus

<p>Pleading — Accuracy and precision essential to statement.</p> <p>Accuracy and precision have no terrors except for the careless and incompetent, and the act of 1887 was not intended to do away with them. As to all matters of substance, completeness, accuracy and precision are as necessary now to a statement as they were before to a declaration in the settled and time honored forms : Fritz v. Hathaway, 185 Pa. 274.</p> <p>Practice, O. P. — Suits by receivers of insurance company — Gopy of record of Dauphin county proceedings.</p> <p>In an action by the receiver of an insurance company to collect assessments, the plaintiff’s statement is defective and insufficient when not accompanied by a full copy of the record of Dauphin county court. The decree is only a portion of the record, which is a statutory requisite to establish the plaintiff’s claim, and a copy of the whole record should accompany the statement in order to comply with the provisions of the act of 1887.</p>
