Court of Appeals of South Carolina January 15, 1844 (Norris v. Wolfe)

Curia, per

Evans, J.

The object of pleading is not to embarrass and encumber a case with a multiplicity of pleading on immaterial points, but to strip the case of undisputed facts, to ascertain wherein the parties differ, and what is in dispute between them. To decide the question made in this case, it is necessary to refer to the pleadings themselves.
