NOTE BY THE Reporters.


lthas long been settled, in England, that the
9tod c9n IN treSPsSS is fatal Gibert III his his,o-
ry ana practice ct the common pleas, page l24,
10, says, " the declaration must contain such

o' II t'iere nc no certain affirmation to make the
declaration itself traversablc, it will not be cur
ced after verdict because it is defect IN the sub
stance, ii nothing be positively affirmed to be put
III issue, and therefore if declaration be qRoa
cant, the defendant assaulted him, and The defen-
dant pleads not guilty, there is nothing but in is
sue, tor the pleadings have affirmed nothing
Tor although the defendant be found guilty on that
issue, yet the plaintiff cannot have Judgment, be-
cause nothing is positively affirmed IN the defen.
dant by the alIcgdta; but if The plaintiff declares

these came under the Guod cum, taken together
with the rest ofthe sentance, being positive they

cGrdingly, IN all The ancient and modern books of
entries Of any authority, we find the charge in

affirm positi0eiy, (see precedent in Ro7gden 2l.

that court gets the objection arising from the
2aod cum. although it is held fatal in the KINGS
Bench, where tile plaintiff declares Immediately
