Rees v. Evans

1 Sarat. Ch. Sent. 6, 1841 N.Y. LEXIS 302

Opinion

The chancellor decided, in this case, that any allegation in an answer that the defendant believes Ms character is much better than that of the complainant, or of tbe solicitor who drew the bill, is scandalous and impertinent, although the charges in the bill impeach the conduct of the defendant or of his solicitor in reference to the subject of the suit. Order of the vice-chancellor affirmed, with costs.
