West Virginia Code Chapter 56. Pleading and Practice § 56-4-13. Unnecessary averments in trespass on the case

In actions of trespass on the case, where the action of trespass would formerly have been proper, general averments that the defendant committed other wrongs, and that the acts charged were done with force and arms against the peace, may be omitted; and the plaintiff may prove all that he could have proved if such averments had been inserted in the declaration.
