Superior Court of Delaware July 5, 1833 (State Use of Herdman v. Houston)

The Court

stopt Mr. Bayard.

The plff. has declared on this bond according to its legal effect, and does not profess to set it out according to its tenor. He has set it out substantially. A party need not set out the whole of a contract, but only so much as he founds his action upon, and if that part be set out substantially when he professes to do no more, it is sufficient.
