Opinion

Kirkpatrick, C. J.

— The defendant filed no plea; and, therefore, the justice precluded him from making any defence before the jury. The act does not require a written plea, except in cases of set-off; the justice therefore in this, has mistaken the law : besides, the style or nature of the action, does not appear on the record.

Rossei.Jj and Penxtngtox, Justices, concurred.

J udgment reversed.
