    Mayor and Commonalty of Alexandria v. Moore & Others.
    Debt on an auctioneer’s bond; plea, general performance. Replication, that the auctioneer did not pay over money to A and B. A rejoinder that it had not been established, by a judgment, that money was due to them by the auctioneer, is an issuable plea, to set aside an office judgment.
    Debt on an auctioneer’s bond; plea, general performance; special replication, that Moore, the auctioneer, had not paid money to Archer and to Vowell, which he had received as auctioneer.
    At the first term after office-judgment, and to set it aside, Mr. G. Simms, for the defendant, Patten, (one of the sureties,) offered a rejoinder that Archer and Vowell respectively had not proved, by, a suit and judgment, that the money, was due from Moore to them.
    
      Mr. E. J. Lee, for the plaintiff,
    objected that it is not pleading to issue within the meaning of the Act of Virginia, 12th December, 1792, <§> 28, p. 78, and that it will drive him to a special demurrer.
   But the Court

(nem. con.) admitted the replication, because it was an issuable plea, and if bad it is bad on general demurrer.
