perior court to the answer filed by Town
Counsel Goodhart few days ago.
The substance of the answer was to
the effect that the plaintiff had not
claimed payment of the bounty for
more than thirty-three years, therefore
the claim had been considered paid.
The demurrer to the answer is as
follows: d Because the matter there
in contained is Irrelevant and unneces-
sary; (2) Because the third defense is
a statement of evidence. Because said
third defense is an attempt indirectly
to plead the statute Of limitation which
