¶1The plea of nul tiel record is not that general issue intended by the statute, under which the defendant is au“thorized to give notice of the special matter of defence of which he intends to give evidence at the trial. The statute has' reference to such issues only as are to be tried by the country. The defendant ought to have pleaded his discharge specially.
¶2Motion denied.
