PRACTICE: AFFIDAVIT OF DEFENCE.
RESCRIPT.
MATTESON, C.J.
Section 59, of the amendments to the Judiciary Act, requires that a defendant, to entitle himself to defend, shall make an affidavit only "that in his opinion there is a good and valid defence, and in what said defence consists." The defendant's affidavit in the present suit is a substantial compliance with this provision.
Reenacted, Gen. Laws R.I. cap. 239, § 14.
Motion for judgment for want of sufficient affidavit denied.
