pleading .
Duplicity of pleading consists in multiplicity of distinct matter to one and the same thing ,
whereunto several answers are required .
Duplicity may occur in one and the same pleading .
Double pleading consists in alleging ,
for one single purpose or object ,
two or more distinct grounds of defence ,
when one of them would be as effectual in law ,
as both or all .
2 .
This the common law does not allow ,
because it produces useless prolixity ,
and always tends to confusion ,
and to the multiplication of issues .

This is a fault in pleading ,
only because it tends to useless prolixity and confusion ,
and is ,
therefore ,
only a fault in form .
The rule forbidding double pleading "
extends ,"
according to Lord Coke , "
to pleas perpetual or peremptory ,
and not to pleas dilatory ;
for in their time and place a man may use divers of them ."

But by this is not meant that any dilatory plea way be double ,
or ,
in other words ,
that it way consist of different matters ,
or answers to one and the same thing ;
but merely that ,
as there are several kinds or classes of dilatory pleas ,
having distinct offices or effects ,
a defendant may use "
divers of them "
successively , (
each being in itself single ,)
in their proper order .

which provides ,
that "
it shall be lawful for any defendant ,
or tenant ,
in any action or suit ,
or for any plaintiff in replevin ,
in any court of record ,
with leave of the court to plead as many several matters thereto as he shall think necessary for his defence ."
6 .
This provision ,
or a similar one ,
is in force ,
probably ,
in most of the states of the American Union .
7 .
Under this statute ,
the defendant may ,
with leave of court ,
plead as many different pleas in bar , (
each being a single ,)
as he may think proper ;
but although this statute allows the defendant to plead several distinct and substantive matters of defence ,
in several distinct pleas ,
to the whole ,
or one and the same part of the plaintiff '
s demand ;
yet ,
it does not authorize him to allege more than one ,
ground of defence in one plea .
Each plea must still be single ,
as by the rules of the common law .
