If ,
therefore ,
in an action of trespass for breaking a close ,
and cutting three hundred trees ,
the defendant pleads as to cutting all but two hundred trees ,
some matter of justification or title ,
and as to the two hundred trees says nothing ,
the plaintiff is entitled to sign judgment ,
as by nil dicit against him ,
in respect of the two hundred trees ,
and to demur ,
or reply to the plea ,
as to the remainder of the trespasses .
On the other hand ,
if he demurs or replies to the plea ,
without signing ,
judgment for the part not answered ,
the whole action is said to be discontinued .
For the plea ,
if taken by the plaintiff as an answer to the ,
whole action ,
it being ,
in fact ,
a partial answer only ,
is ,
in contemplation of law ,
a mere nullity ,
and a discontinuance takes place .
And such discontinuance will amount to error on the record ;
such error is cured ,
however ,
after verdict ,
by the statute of Jeo fails ,

It is to be observed ,
that as to the plaintiff '
s course of proceeding ,
there is a distinction between a case like this ,
where the defendant does not profess to answer the whole ,
and a case where ,
by the commencement of his plea ,
he professes to do so ,
but ,
in fact ,
gives a defective and partial answer ,
applying to part only .
The latter case amounts merely to insufficient pleading ,
and the plaintiff '
s course ,
therefore ,
is not to sign judgment for the part defectively answered ,
but to demur to the whole plea .

It is to be observed ,
also ,
that where the part of pleading to which no answer is given ,
is immaterial ,
or such as requires no separate or specific answer for example ,
if it be mere matter of allegation ,
the rule does not in that case apply .
