ESTOPPEL ,
pleading .
An estoppel is a preclusion ,
in law ,
which prevents a man from alleging or denying a fact ,
in consequence o his own previous act ,
allegation or denial of a contrary tenor .

Lord Coke says ,
"
an estoppel is ,
when a man is concluded by his own act or acceptance ,
to say the truth ."
Co .

And Blackstone defines "
an estoppel to be a special plea in bar ,
which happens where a man has done some act ,
or executed some deed ,
which estops or precludes him from averring any thing to the contrary .

Estoppels are odious in law ;
1 Serg . &
R .
444 ;
they are not admitted in equity against the truth .
Id .

Nor can jurors be estopped from saying the truth ,
because they are sworn to do so ,
although they are estopped from finding against the admission of the parties in their pleadings .

An estoppel may ,
arise either from matter of record ;
from the deed of the party ;
or from matter in Pays ;
that is ,
matter of fact .
3 .
Thus ,
any confession or admission made in pleading ,
in a court of record ,
whether it be express ,
or implied from pleading over without a traverse ,
will forever preclude the party from afterwards contesting the same fact in any subsequent suit with his adversary .

This is an estoppel by matter of record .
4 .
As an instance of an estoppel by deed ,
may be mentioned the case of a bond reciting a certain fact .
The party executing that bond ,
will be precluded from afterwards denying in any action brought upon that instrument ,
the fact ,
so recited .
5 Barn . &
Ald .

5 .
An example of an estoppel by matter in pays occurs when one man has accepted rent of another .
He will be estopped from afterwards .
denying ,
in any action ,
with that person ,
that he was ,
at the time of such acceptance ,
his tenant .

This doctrine of law gives rise to a kind of pleading that is neither by way of traverse ,
nor confession .
and avoidance :
viz .
a pleading ,
that ,
waiving any question of fact ,
relies merely on the estoppel ,
and ,
after stating the previous act ,
allegation ,
or denial ,
of the opposite party ,
prays judgment ,
if he shall be received or admitted to aver contrary to what he before did or said .
This pleading is called pleading by way of estoppel .
Steph .
240a 7 .
Every estoppel ought to be reciprocal ,
that is ,
to bind both parties :
and this is the reason that regularly a stranger shall neither take advantage or be bound by an estoppel .
It should be directly affirmative ,
and not by inference nor against an estoppel .
