Head Matter:
Abijah B. Curtis, plaintiff in error, v. Justus B. Jones, defendant in error.
—Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part, and neither party, as against the other, to have costs in this court.
M. T. Reynolds, for plaintiff in error;
H. R. Selden, for defendant in error.

Opinion:
This was an action of replevin, in the detinet, in which the defendant avowed the detention of the property as a mechanic having a lien thereon for the manufacturing. And the question arose on demurrer, as to the sufficiency of the plaintiff's plea in bar, setting up a special agreement between them in answer to said avowry. (Reported 3 Denio, 590.)
