w. II. Babcock VS.. F.. A. Maxwell, ap
pealed from the district our OF Park
county. from an order Of Judge Henry's
in Diminishing an action Instituted
TO recover 1857 damages for the nver
sion of about 10000 feet Of lumber. The
question involved was one of practice.
II appears that the plaintiff failed to
reply to certain allegations contained
in defendants answer. Acting on the
theory that all affirmations or new
matter contained In defendants answer.
which the plaintiff did not controvert,
the lower court believed admitted to
be true and accordingly dismissed the
action upon motion of defendant. Plain
tif claimed the court erred n rails
ed that point on appeal. In an opinion
by Justice Pigott this contention OF the
plaintiff Is sustained, the our holding
that the lower court erred In that re-
spect, since under the codes all allega-
lions In defense are deemed contro-
verted by the plaintiff. The cour al
so upholds the contention OF the plain
tiff that the Affirmative matter In the
answer did not constitute a counter
claim. Upon these points the case is
reversed and remanded for trial.

stroyed. The names Of the owners of this
