KINNE'S LAW COMPENDIUM

FOR 1845.

ABATEMENT.

How only can facts showing that the plaintiff has mistaken his remedy by bringing trespass instead of case be pleaded?

Only in abatement, not in bar.-Seneca Rail Road Co., v. Auburn and Rochester Rail Road Co., 5 Hill, R. p. 170. (1844.)

ABSENT DEBTORS.

The testimony of witnesses that they believe a debtor resides out of the State, is not sufficient under a statute requiring "proof by two witnesses to the satisfaction of the Judge" of such non-residence.-Kingsland & Kingsland v. Cowman & Gillender.-5 Hill R. p. 608. (1844.) Belief alone will not answer.-(Pearce v. Davy, Sayers' R. 293. 1 Tidd. Pr. 692. ed. of '28; 1 Chit. Pl. 497. ed. of '37; 3 ed. 902; Tidd. Append. 155; 1 Lil. Mod. Ent. 1.)
