Issue hath divers fignifications in law; fometimes it is 
taken for the children begotten between a man and his 
wile; fometimes for profits growing from amerciaments 
and fines ; fometimes for the profits of lands and tene¬

ing out of the allegations and pleas of the plaintiff and 
defendant in a caule. 
As to iffue in the fenfe of children or heirs, fee the

When, in the courfe of pleading, the parties in a caule 
come to a point which is affirmed or. one fide and denied 
on the other, they are then faid to be at ijfue 5 all their 
debates being at lalt contrafted into a Angle point, which 
mull be determined either in favour of the plaintiff or the 
defendant. ^Comm. 313. 
The iflues concerning caufes are of two kinds: upon 
matter of faft, and matter of law. An iffue in fail is 
where the plaintiff and defendant have agreed upon a point 
to be tried by a jury. An iffue in law is where there is a 
demurrer to a declaration, plea, &c. and a joinder in de¬ 
murrer, which is to be determined by the judges. See 
Demurrer. 
As to iffues of faft, viz. whether the faft is true or falfe, 
which are triable by the jury, they are eithergeneral or fpe- 
cial. General, when it is left to the jury to try whether the 
defendant hath done any luch thing as the plaintiff lays 
to his charge ; as when he pleads not guilty to a trefpafs, 
&c. Non affumpft, or that he made no promile, in an ac¬ 
tion of ajjumpfit. Not guilty is the general iffue in all cri¬ 
minal cales. Special , is when feme lpecial matter, or ma¬ 
terial point alleged by the defendant in his defence, is to 
be tried; as in affkult and battery, where the defendant 
pleads that the plaintiff ftruck firft, Sec. 
There is alfo a general iffue, wherein the defendant 
may give the fpecial matter in evidence, for excufe or juf- 
tification, by virtue of feveral ftatutes made for avoiding 
prolixity of pleading; and, upon the general iflue in fuch 
cafes, the defendant may give any thing in evidence, 
which proves the plaintiff hath no caufe of aftion. 1 Inf. 
283. Matter amounting to the general iffue, and. fpecial 
matter of juftification, have been joined in one intire plea, 
and held good. 3 Lev. 41. And, where there is an iffue 
upon not guilty, and there are other iffues upon juftirica. 
tions, the trial of the general iffue of not guilty is but 
matter
