Supreme Court of North Carolina June 5, 1829 (Watts v. . Greenlee)

Toomer Judge.

This is an action on the case for slanderous words. The Defendant pleaded “not guilty,5* and “statute of limitations.” To the first plea, no replication was entered ; but according to our practice, a general replication is always understood, when there is no special replication and it is considered that issue was joined thereon.
