Mitchell v. Guthrie

Lorb, C. J:— The defendants have not distinctly and clearly stated in their fifth plea any issuable fact. There are, what are generally known as short pleas; but the defendants’ plea is not good as a short plea. In the júdgment of the Court it does not set out any defence. We therefore make the order that the fifth plea be stricken out. On motion of Mr. Chandler, leave to amend pleas generally was granted.
