GENERAL ISSUE, pleading. A plea which traverses or denies at once the whole
indictment or declaration, without offering any special matter, to evade it.
It is called the general issue, because, by importing an absolute and
general denial of what is alleged in the indictment or declaration, it
amounts at once to an issue. 2 Bl. Com. 305.
