Pleading

Pleading. 1. In its general sense, the proceedings from the statement of claim to issue joined, i.e., the opposing statements of the parties. 2.

It is neither necessary nor advisable for us to speculate or hazard a surmise to find out a reason for making this distinction between the right of a local authority in the same State and being part of the different States in the pre-Constitution and post-constitution eras, Union...
