22 S.C.L. 295

Napier v. Lipman

Court of Appeals of South Carolina

Decided February 20, 1837

Court of Appeals of South Carolina · decided 1837-02-20

Tried before his Honor Judge Evahs, Charleston, January Term, 1837. This case was on issue docket, but I do not recollect how long it had been docketed. On the last day of the court, after all the cases on the docket were considered or continued to the next term, an application was niade by Mr. Moise, for leave to withdraw the pleas put in by the defendant, and for leave to plead de novo.

Decided 1837-02-20

Mr. Justice Evans

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2The only ground argued and insisted on, in this court, is, that the order should not have been granted, but on the condition of paying costs. This is the usual term upon which such orders are made, and if it had been brought to my view, at the Circuit Court, would have been annexed to the order. The order is also defective, in not specifying the nature of the new plea. It must be an issuable ploa. The order of the Circuit Court is therefore amended, so as to read as follows : It is ordered, that the defendant have leave to withdraw his pleas, heretofore pleaded, and that he have' leave to plead a new issuable plea, on paying the costs of this amendment.
