CIRCUIT CoURr-Bs5ore Hon. George 1ttui-
eq7e-Daridson rs. Childs. The defendant !
pleaded the general issue, gave notice Of |
special matter Of defense according to the |
statute, and took a rule upon the plaintiff, to |
show cause, if any there was, why the notice |
should not be adjudged BY the court to be |
sufficiently clear and explicit, to allow the de- |
fendant to give proof Hereunder of his es-
pecial matters CT defense. The Plaintiff ques- |
toned the propriety Of the rule, but it was
sustained By the court as warranted by the
statute, and conducive to fair practice, and
trials upon the merits.
Evans for plaintiff; Bonney d Fay for de-
fendant
Gardner as. Roberts a party vas offered
as bail who resided in this county, but had no
lands within it. He had sufficient real estate
in other counties Of this State. Sheriff Hess
ing declined to take the bail, contending that
the statute required property in the county.
The point was referred to Mr.. Farwe1l, Si,er-
IFS counsel, who, after examination decided
against the objection, whercupon the bail was
taken. The same point has been raised before
By the Sheriff, to the Inconvenience Of parties,
and in former cases as in thisq abandoned on
Investigation.
