Approved March 28, 1934

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That section
sixty-one hundred and seven of the Code of Virginia be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 6107. Any party in any action, at any stage of the plead-
ings, may plead as many several matters, whether of law or fact, as he
shall think necessary, and the defendant may file pieas in bar at the
same time with pleas in abatement, or within a reasonable time there-
after but the issues on the pleas in abatement shall be first tried, and if
such issues be found against the defendant, he may, nevertheless, make
any other defenses he may have to the action. Special pleas constituting
a good defense shall not be rejected because provable under the gen-
eral issue.
