    No. 6277
    J. N. Shawhan vs. J. M. Prather.
    The pleas of the general issue, prescription, and demand in reconvention are not inconsistent.
    In a suit for the hires of carriage and horses, the admission by the defendant as a witness that he had hired them at various times is not a waiver of the plea of prescription, nor an acknowledgment of the debt.
