Burton v. Killam

Burton v. Killam
Delaware Court of Common Pleas · Decided November 15, 1795
1 Del. Cas. 387

Counsel

Bayard for plaintiff.

Burton v. Killam

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Defendant alleges that his plea is ill and therefore that the plaintiff cannot have judgment. This should be a reason why the defendant should not have judgment, but can be no reason why the plaintiff should not. Gilb.C.P. 132. So if the *388replication be ill, if the plea is also ill, plaintiff shall have judgment. 1 Str. 302.

Bayard for plaintiff.

Plaintiff recovered and had judgment.
