Goodenow v. Travis

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The plea was not guilty, and the set-off - , . , . ot the trespass or violence done by the plaintiff m the *428house, and his bad character, was meant only as a reason, or justification for not entertaining him, and was intended to support the plea of not guilty. The verdict for six cents damages and six cents costs, was intended, and is to be considered, merely as a verdict for the defendant, generally.

Judgment affirmed.
