1 Tenn. 64

Tennessee Superior Court for Law and Equity·Decided September 6, 1804·Published

Opinions

Ejectment. — There is some difference in the form of a plea in ejectment in the Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas in England. In the first, the defendant is admitted to defend by a general confession of lease, entry, and ouster; in the other, he is admitted as to such lands as are in his possession.

I am of opinion the plea is incorrect; it ought to relate to possession at least, and not to title deeds.
