Seite 477 - A general or specific denial of each material allegation of the complaint controverted by the defendant, or of any knowledge or information thereof sufficient to form a belief; 2. A statement of any new matter constituting a defense or counterclaim, in ordinary and concise language without repetition.
Seite 96 - The defendant may demur to the complaint within the time required in the summons to answer, when it appears upon the face thereof, either— 1. That the court has no jurisdiction of the person of the defendant, or the subject of the action ; or, 2.
Seite 120 - A variance, between an allegation in a pleading and the proof, is not material, unless it has actually misled the adverse party, to his prejudice, in maintaining his action or defence, upon the merits.

Seite 57 - Damage to goods and injury to the person, although they have been occasioned by one and the same wrongful act, are infringements of different rights, and give rise to distinct causes of action ; and therefore the recovery in an action of compensation for the damage to the goods is no bar to an action subsequently commenced for the injury to the person.
Seite 91 - It is a doctrine which is to be found in the laws of all civilized nations, that if a man, either by words cr by conduct, has intimated that he consents to an act which has been done, and that he will offer no opposition to It, although it could not have been lawfully done without his consent, and he thereby induces others to do that from which they...
