Ford v. Wescott

Opinion of the Court

Wright, C. J.

This judgment must be reversed. A re*287plication is not necessary to complete tbe issue, where- it is fully joined by petition and answer. An answer merely responsive to tbe petition, is not to be taken as true. It is tbe affirmative, and not tbe negative allegations of tbe answer, tbat are admitted, by a failure to deny tbe same .by replication.

Judgment reversed.
