Pleading. — Where a hospital seeks a stay of execution on a judgment, without bond, because an appeal has been taken, and the motion relies upon an affidavit by the hospital administrator which states that the movant is a "county-municipal hospital," the affidavit is deficient where it fails to state either that a city-county organization operated the hospital or that it was not leased to some other entity.
