That which is alleged by a party in support of his cause; in
a stricter sense, an allegation of fact in a cause, as distinguished
from a demurrer; in a still more limited sense, and in modern practice,
the defendant's answer to the plaintiff's declaration and demand. That

or justified by the defendant's plea. In chancery practice, a plea is a
special answer showing or relying upon one or more things as a cause
why the suit should be either dismissed, delayed, or barred. In
criminal practice, the plea is the defendant's formal answer to the
indictment or information presented against him.
