Note: In the old law books, count was used synonymously with
declaration. When the plaintiff has but a single cause
of action, and makes but one statement of it, that
statement is called indifferently count or declaration,
most generally, however, the latter. But where the suit
embraces several causes, or the plaintiff makes several
different statements of the same cause of action, each
statement is called a count, and all of them combined,
a declaration. --Bouvier. Wharton.
