Practice, Civil, Copy of declaration. Statute, Construction. In the requirement of Pub. Sts. c. 167, § 8, amended by St. 1894, c. 405, that a copy of the declaration must be furnished on demand if there is an attachment and "the declaration and bill of particulars, when necessary, are not inserted in the writ," the words "when necessary" qualify "bill of particulars" alone, and the declaration always must be furnished.
BY THE COURT.
The statute requires a copy of the declaration to be furnished on demand in all cases where there is an attachment and the declaration is not inserted in the writ. St. 1894, c. 405. The comma after the word "particulars" raises no reasonable doubt that the following words, "when necessary" qualify "bill of particulars" alone.
Judgment affirmed.
