Opinion

Waties, j.,

delivered the unanimous opinion of all the judges, that the District Court had properly allowed the defendant to plead the additional plea. That it did not appear that any serious inconvenience would result from allowing several distinct and apparently inconsistent pleas, and the courts have been of late liberally inclined to allow them, where they do not appear to be intended to delay or embarrass, and may be necessary or properly advantageous for the defendant.
