PRAYER FOR GENERAL RELIEF.

1. The omission of the prayer for specific relief, is no reason why, under
the general prayer, the complainants may not have such relief as the
case alleged and proved may entitle them to. Craw vs. Bames S[ Skr-

the general prayer, is, that it must be agreeable to the case made by
