    Case No. 814.
    BALL v. PATTERSON.
    [1 Cranch, C. C. 607.] 
    
    Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
    Dec. Term, 1809.
    Troveh—Pleading.
    A declaration in trover for “a tool-chest containing divers tools, and working utensils,” and a “trunk containing clothes,” is sufficiently certain.
    [See Ball v. Patterson, Case No. 813.]
    At law. The declaration having been amended, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiff, the defendant moved in arrest of judgment for uncertainty of the declaration, which was for “a tool-chest containing divers tools and working utensils,” and “a trunk containing clothes.”
    Mr. Caldwell, for the defendant
    A chest of tools would have been good; but a chest containing divers tools and working utensils, is not. It is too vague. Bottomley v. Harrison, 2 Strange, 809.
   THE COURT

was of opinion that the declaration was good as to the trunk and chest, and tools and clothes. Judgment for the plaintiff.
