Bond v. Allen

THE COURT

held that the fourth and fifth sections of that act must be taken together; that the defendant ought to ha Ye entitled himself to the benefit of the fourth section, by showing he had complied with the requisites of the fifth; and as this was not set forth, the plea was overruled. See Blount v. Porterfield, 2 Hayw. [N. C.) 161; McLin v. McNamara, 2 Dev. & B. Eq. 82; Salter v. Blount. Id. 218.
