Munden v The Duke of Brunswick: 1847

To an action on an annuity deed, defendant pleaded that, at the time of making the deed, he was the reigning Sovereign Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg; that the deed was made by him within his dominions; and that, from the time of the making thereof until action brought, he had been, and still was, justly entitled to all the rights, prerogatives and privileges appertaining to him as the Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg. Held, on demurrer to the replication, that the plea was bad for not stating that defendant was reigning sovereign duke at the time when the action was brought or plea pleaded.
