  1. Snow v. Horgan

    27 A. 338 (R.I. 1893)   Cited 3 times

    The second plea, being merely a plea of general performance, is bad. It should specifically and directly answer the breach of the covenant set out in the declaration. Almy v. Greene, 13 R.I. 350, 353; Commercial National Bank v. Gorham, 11 R.I. 162, 165; 1 Chitty on Pleading, *515. The fourth and fifth pleas are objectionable, in that they set forth provisions, not recited in the declaration, alleged to be in the lease of which profert is made, but without craving oyer of it and setting out the portions of it which are essential to the purpose of the plea, as the rules of pleading require.
