Syllabus

<p>Defects in a Complaint.—If several causes of action in a complaint are not separately stated, or if a cause of action stated is against public policy, the defects cannot be taken advantage of by a motion to dismiss the action, or by a motion for judgment on the pleadings.</p> <p>Review of Evidence.—The Supreme Court cannot review the evidence unless the bill of exceptions specifies the particulars in-which the evidence is alleged to be insufficient to sustain the verdict.</p> <p>Judgment Payable in Gold Coin.—If there is no allegation in the complaint that there was an agreement to pay in gold coin, the court cannot render a judgment payable in gold coin, even if the verdict of the jury is for gold coin. The verdict cannot go beyond the issues.</p>
