Texas Supreme Court July 1, 1857 (Cook v. Hancock)

Roberts, J.

To the first assignment of error defendant objects : first, that the general denial, which was the only plea in the record inspected by the Court, is a nullity, and that therefore the entry is correct; and secondly, that the recital is unnecessary, and merely surplusage.

Believing the last objection to be well founded, it is unnecessary to discuss the first.
