Cady, in support of the demurrer., Henry, contra.

Union Cotton Manufactory v. Lobdell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The rule is invariable, that causes of action, which admit of the same plea and the same judgment, may be joined; but the converse of this proposition is not invariably true. Debt on specialty, or debt on judgment, may be joined with debt on simple contract, although they require different pleas* (1 Chit. Plead. 197. 2 Saund. 117. note 2.)

Judgment for the plaintiffs.
