Woodrow v. Coleman.
    After judgment for the plaintiff on the defendant’s demurrer, and writ of inquiry awarded, the Court will not permit the defendant to plead da novo, unless lie will withdraw his demurrer.
    The Court, at last term, overruled the defendant’s demurrer, but the judgment was not entered until this term; and-the jury being now called to be sworn to inquire of damages, —
    
      Mr. Taylor, for the defendant,
    offered to plead a breach of covenant on the part of the plaintiff in bar of the action, and contended that the covenants were dependent.
   The Court

refused to suffer the defendant to file the plea offered.

Mr. Taylor then offered the general issue to the breach assigned.

The Court intimated that they would not permit the plea, unless the judgment on the demurrer should be struck out, and the demurrer withdrawn.

Mr. Taylor refused to withdraw the demurrer, and the writ of inquiry was executed.
