Brewer v. Tarpley
Brewer v. Tarpley
1 Va. 363
Brewer v. Tarpley
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The mere omission of a similiter in a plea importing the general issue, if it be a fault at all, is the misprision of the clerk, and therefore amendable. In this case, the parties considered it as joined; the jury were sworn to try the issue joined — the parties go to trial upon the merits, and the verdict is that the defendant did assume. After this, it is too late to object.
Judgment affirmed.
