1Opinion of the Court
POEEENBARGER, JüDGE:
In an action of trespass on the case for timber cut and removed from certain land, Cora McGlamery and Josie Winifred McGlamery, claimed estates in remainder in the land, recovered a judgment for $637.00, against James W. Jackson, the life tenant, in the circuit court of Greenbrier county. As the declaration contains no ad damnum clause, its sufficiency was challenged by demurrer, and the demurrer having been overruled, there was a motion in arrest of judgment, because of the defect in the declaration, which motion was likewise overruled. ■
