Summary: Banks moved that it was a good plea, and prayed that it might be allowed. 45 E., 3, 24; 34 H., 6, 23. *Page 672 Brooner , the secondary, showed to the court that it was refused, being a foreign plea. A foreign plea is not receivable, unless it be upon oath, and is transitory. As here that he accounted is not receivable unless upon oath.
There is no inconvenience in suffering the judgment to stay. For that heheretofore accounted with the plaintiff is a good plea before the auditors.
Whereupon, by CREW, C. J., and DODERIDGE and JONES, JJ., let the judgment remain.
