Head Matter:
Hodgson v. The Marine Insurance Company.
The Court will not permit a defendant to tender an issue which he had refused to join, and to which he had demurred when tendered by the plaintiff; there having been . judgment rendered against him by the Supreme Court on the demurrer.

Opinion:
The Court
refused the ninth plea now offered by the defendants, because the substance of it was tendered'as an issue, by the plaintiff in a former stage of the suit, and rejected by the defendants, who chose to demur; and having had judgment against them in the Supreme Court on the demurrer, ought not now to be permitted to amend.
