(a), (c) The venue in this action is local, and the place is material and traversable, I Saund. 347. n. 1. See infra, n. (e). (d) The precise day is not material. The plaintiff may in the same declaration, count for several takings, part at one day and place, and part at another day and place, F. N. B. 68. (e) The action of replevin requires more certainty in the description of the place, where the distress was taken, than that of trespass, the place being material and traversable, Hob. 16. Willes, 478. 2 Wils. 354. and if the defendant plead non cepit, and the plaintiff cannot prove a caption, or that the defendant had the cattle, &c. in the place stated in his declaration, he will be nonsuited, (1 Stra. 507, 508. 2 Mod. 199. I Saund * there called (e),] took the cattle,(f) (or "goods and chat- Replevin. 366 347. n. 1. acc. 2 Wils. 354. Gilb. 166. semb. cont.) and if the place be omitted the defendant may demur, 2 Wils. 354. and it is not sufficient merely to state that the caption was made in a parish or town, but it is usual to add that the cattle, &c. were taken "in a certain place there called, &c. Cro. El. 896. Hob. 16. Moor, 678. 1 Brownl. 186. 1 Sid. 9, 10. 20. Carth. 186. However, according to the present practice, it is sufficiently certain to state, that "the defendant, in the parish" or town" of, in the county of in a certain close, or a certain messuage," there took the cattle," &c. without stating the name of the close, or the street where the house is situate; and in all cases, if the particular place be omitted, the objection will be aided by the defendant's pleading over or after verdict, id. ibid. If the defendant lead or have the cattle, &c. through or in a close or place differ ent to that in which they were originally taken, the plaintiff may state the caption to have been in either, though it is more usual to insert the place where the cattle were first taken, 2 Wils. 354. 1 Saund. 347. n. 1. Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. .If several cattle be taken, some in one place and some in another, it should be shewn in the declaration how many were taken in each, Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. (f) If standing corn, &c. be taken under the 11 Geo. II. c. 19. s. 8. the description will be as follows: " in a certain field there called -took the corn of the said A B, to wit, acres of standing wheat, there then growing and being, and divers, to wit, cart-loads of other wheat of the said A B, there then also being, of great value, to wit, &c. ut supra.” (g) The description and number of the cattle or goods taken should be stated with certainty; as to the degree of certainty, see 2 Saund. 74. b. Rep. temp. Hardw. 119. 2 Stra. 1015. Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. Bac. Abr. tit. Keplevin. (h) The property must be correctly stated, and several persons having a distinct interest cannot join, Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. Ante, vol. 1. 52. (i) It is not necessary in replevin in the detinuit, which is now the usual form of action, to state the price or value of the cattle or goods; see the reason, 2 Saund. 320. n. 1. aliter, if the declaration be in the detinet, Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. (k) This is the proper form, when the cattle have been replevied, Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 K. 10. (1) Any sum sufficient to cover the amount of the damages really sustained. |
