AFFIDAVIT, practice. An oath or affirmation reduced to writing, sworn or
affirmed to before some officer who has authority to administer it. It
differs from a deposition in this, that in the latter the opposite party has
had an opportunity to cross-examine the witness, whereas an affidavit is
always taken ex parte. Gresl. Eq. Ev. 413. Vide Harr. Dig. h.t.

defendant to the plaintiff; 2dly, show a distinct cause of action; 3dly, the
whole must be clearly and certainly, expressed. Sell. Pr. 104; 1 Chit. R.

3. An affidavit of defence, is made by a defendant or a person knowing

want of an affidavit of defence may be rendered against au. 8 Watts, R. 367.
