41 Geo. 3. 27. If A. agree to buy of B., and B. to sell to A. goods at a certain price, to be delivered between such a day and such a day, and B. fail to deliver the goods within the time; it is sufficient for A. in declaring on the contract to aver, that he was during all the time and still is ready and willing to receive and pay for the goods without making any allegation of an actual tender and refusal. Waterhouse v. Skinner, E. 41 Geo. 3. 28. The Defendant in replevin having averred in his cognizance that the Plaintiff held the land under "a cer- tain demise to him the said J. L., (the Plaintiff) theretofore made." The Plaintiff pleaded in bar that he did not hold under a demise in manner and form.

plead new matter, the Defendant See STAYING AND SETTING ASIDE PRO-
should pay all the costs of the amend- ment. The Defendant having amend. ed accordingly, the Plaintiff demurred specially, and assigned for cause that it did not appear to whom the demise was made: Held that the demurrer, was not new matter.
