Stran 10 - Looking at these things according to common sense, we should consider what is the substantive fact to be made out, and on whom it lies to make it out. It is not so much the form of the issue which ought to be considered, as the substance and effect of it. In many cases, a party, by a little difference in the drawing of his pleadings, might make it either affirmative or negative, as he pleased.

Jan. 17, 1837. — This was an action of assumpsit by the indorsee of a promissory note against the maker, to which the Defendant pleaded a long plea, amounting in substance to want of consideration for the note ; to a portion of which the Plaintiff replied, that there had been a good consideration given, and to the rest entered a nolle prosequi. Counsel for the Plaintiff said, he believed Defendant should begin, which was ruled accordingly by Alderson B..
Stran 79 - ... the extent to which each person omitted ought to be rated, and where the investigation before the sessions would be likely to exhaust more time than they could reasonably be required to give up, we think it would not be an improper exercise of their discretion to quash the rate, and make the officers do in the end what they ought to have done at the beginning.
Stran 64 - In an action in ejectment, plaintiff must recover on the strength of his own title, and not on the weakness of his adversary's...
