Wimple v. M'Dougal

In the case of Quackenbos v. Dennis, it was so ordered, and that is to be considered as a precedent to govern. But it is reasonable that the defendant should be permitted to relinquish his defence, if he chuses to do so, as the introduction of a new party may vary his situation. Let him elect, by Friday next, to abide by or relinquish his plea; and if he relinquishes it, the plaintiff must pay all the. costs accrued up to that day.
