Jones v. Jones Lewis Furniture Co.
C. H. Jones and mrs.C. H. Jones v. Jones Lewis Furniture Company.
Opinion of the Court
Winborne, J.
Demurrer ore tenus to the complaint for that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, C. S., 518,'inter-posed in this Court by defendant, is well taken.
It is contended, and it so appears, that there is no allegation that the defendant made any warranty. The allegation is that “defendant’s salesman and employee guaranteed,” and “relying upon said guarantee, the plaintiffs purchased the bed.” This is far from alleging that the defendant made the warranty.
While it is provided by statute in this State that in the construction of a pleading for the purpose of determining its effect, the allegations therein shall be liberally construed with a view to substantial justice between the parties, C. S., 535, the complaint must allege a cause of action, and the Court will not, under this rule, construe into a pleading that which it does not contain. McIntosh, N. C. P. & P., p. 313, section 369.
Demurrer sustained.
