Hough v. Stover , 1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 394 ( 1804 )

It was ruled in this case at the last term, that an application in arrest of judgment was a non-enumerated motion and that the motion need not specify the reasons; because, as they are on the face of the record, they must necessarily appear to the adverse party.^(a)

(a) Since the decision in the text, motions in arrest of judgment have been classed among enumerated motions, and are entitled to a preference to other causes on the calendar. Rule of Saturday 18th February, 1809.
