2 .
In general surplusagium non nocet ,
according to the maxim utile per inutile non vitiatur ;
therefore if a man in his declaration ,

make mention of a thing which need ,
not be stated ,
but the matter set forth is grammatically right ,
and perfectly sensible ,
no advantage can be taken on demurrer .

When the surplusage is not grammatically set right ,
or it is unintelligible and ,
no sense at all can be given it ,
or it be contradictory or repugnant to what is before alleged ,
the adversary may take advantage of it on special demurrer .

5 .
When a party alleges a material matter with an unnecessary detail of circumstances ,
and the essential and non -
essential parts of a statement are ,
in their nature ,
so connected as to be incapable of separation ,
the opposite party may include under his traverse the whole matter alleged .
And as it is an established rule that the evidence must correspond with the allegations ,
it follows that the party who has thus pleaded such unnecessarily matter will be required to prove it ,
and thus he is required to sustain an increased burden of proof ,
and incurs greater danger of failure at the trial .
For example ,
if in justifying the taking of cattle damage feasant ,
in which case it is sufficient to allege that they were doing damage to his freehold ,
he should state a seisin in fee ,
which is traversed ,
be must prove a seisin in fee .
