Superior Court of Delaware November 13, 1943, No. 48 (John Deere Plow Co. v. Pierce Hardware Co.)

Rodney, J.,

delivering the opinion of the Court:

It will be seen that the special plea does not purport to be an answer to the cause of action in its entirety, because the first item of the claim antedated the date of the agree*483ment as set up in the plea.
