From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
ANSWER, pleading in equity. A defence in writing made by a defendant, to the
charges contained in a bill or information, filed by the plaintiff against
him in a court of equity. The word answer involves a double sense; it is one
thing when it simply replies to a question, another when it meets a charge;
the answer in equity includes both senses, and may be divided into an
examination and a defence. In that part which consists of an examination, a
direct and full answer, or reply, must in general be given to every question
asked. In that part which consists of a defence, the defendant must state
his, case distinctly; but is not required to give information respecting the
proofs that are to maintain it. Gresl. Eq. Ev. 19.
2. As a defendant is called by a bill or information to make a
discovery of the several charges it contains, he must do so, unless he is
protected either by a demurrer a plea or disclaimer. It may be laid down as
an invariable rule, that whatever part of a bill or information is not
covered by one of these, must be defended by answer. Redesd. Tr. Ch. Pl.
244.
3. In form, it usually begins, 1st, with its title, specifying which of
the defendants it is the answer of, and the names of the plaintiffs in the
cause in which it is filed as answer; 2d, it reserves to the defendant all
the advantages which might be taken by exception to the bill; 3d, the
substance of the answer, according to the defendant's knowledge,
remembrance, information and belief, then follows, in which the matter of
the bill, with the interrogatories founded thereon, are answered, one after
the other, together with such additional matter as the defendant thinks
necessary to bring forward in his, defence, either for the purpose of
qualifying, or adding to, the case made by the bill, or to state a new case
on his own behalf; 4th, this is followed by a general traverse or denial of
all unlawful combinations charged in the bill, and of all other matters
therein contained 5th, the answer is always upon oath or affirmation, except
in the case of a corporation, in which case it is under the corporate seal.
4. In substance, the answer ought to contain, 1st, a statement of facts
and not arguments 2d, a confession and avoidance, or traverse and denial of
the material parts of the bill 3d, its language ought to be direct and
without evasion. Vide generally as to answers, Redes. Tr. Ch. Pl. 244 to
254; Coop. Pl. Eq. 312 to 327; Beames Pl. Eq. 34 et seq.; Bouv. Inst. Index,
h.t. For an historical account of this instrument, see 2 Bro. Civ. Law,
371, n. and Barton's Hist. Treatise of a Suit in Equity.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
ANSWER, practice. The declaration of a fact by a witness after a question
has been put asking for it.
2. If a witness unexpectedly state facts against the interest of the
party calling him, other witnesses may be called by the same party, to
disprove those facts. But the party calling a witness cannot discredit him,
by calling witnesses to prove his bad character for truth and veracity, or
by proving that he has made statements out of court contrary to what he has
sworn on the trial; B. N. P.; for the production of the witness is virtually
an assertion by the party producing him, that he is credible.
