Case No. 6,518.

HINES et ux. v. CRAIG.

[1 Cranch, C. C. 340.]¹

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

July Term, 1806.

PLEADING—PLENE ADMINISTRAVIT.

Outstanding judgments cannot be given in evidence, on plene administravit, but must be specially pleaded.

[This was an action at law by Hines and wife against Craig, administrator of Mitchell.]

Assumpsit, non assumpsit, limitations, and plene administravit.

E. J. Lee, for defendant, showed prior judgments outstanding.

Mr. Swann, for plaintiff, objected that, unless the defendant shows actual payment of those judgments, they cannot be given in evidence under a general plea of plene administravit, but must be pleaded specially.

And THE COURT so decided.
