Dole v. Moulton
New York Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1800
1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 91

Counsel

Henry for the plaintiff, Woodworth, contra.

Dole v. Moulton

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The rule referred to by the defend-' ant’s counsel, that where there shall be a demur- “ rer to a declaration, or to any other pleading, not being a plea in abatement, the party against whom “ the demurrer shall be taken, may, at any time be- “ fore the default for not joining in demurrer shall be “ entered, amend the pleading demurred to” will never extend to permit the party to add new pleas : those pleas must therefore be struck out.

As to the first motion, the plaintiff, after demurrer, comes too late to drive the defendant to an election.

*93Let the plaintiff take only the effect of his motion in respect to the two last pleas.
