Case Summary
The Supreme Court upheld the demurrer on the fifth plea, arguing that it lacked sufficient detail in avoiding the obligation, rendering it insufficient. This plea relied on a statute introducing a new remedy, yet failed to meet the standards of common law. Consequently, the circuit court's decision was affirmed.
