Scawen v Garrett: 1790

An attorney may plead that he is an attorney. An attorney need not refer to the record when he pleads that he is an attorney. On a dilatory plea in respect of some matter applying to the person of one of the parties, such matter may be stated without a venue. R. acc. ante, 1014. D. acc. ante, 853. Tis never necessary to allege where the Court of Common Pleas sits.
