Young v. . Farrel

Hal},

Judge.

As to tbe evidence in the first place, it cannot be regarded by the jury

;

they have nothing to do with it: And as' to the replication, the act of 1715 is in force ; the jury are to say •whether the act bars the plaintiff’s claim.

From this charge, the reporter inferred the opinion of his Honor to be, that the replication thus entered was to be considered as a general one, denying the matter of the plea, and not as introducing any new matter by way of avoidance.
