The opinion

Danforth, J.

By Private and Special Laws of 1869, c. 205, the municipal court of the city of Saco had jurisdiction over the subject matter of this suit.

The general appearance of the defendant, and filing an account in set-off, gave that court jurisdiction of the person. Hence, the motion to dismiss was made too late. Brown v. Webber, 6 Cush., 560 . Exceptions overruled.

Appleton, C. J., Walton, Dickerson, Barrows and Virgin, JJ., concurred.
