DEMURRER
De*mur"rer, n.
1. One who demurs.
2. (Law)
Definition: A stop or pause by a party to an action, for the judgment of
the court on the question, whether, assuming the truth of the matter
alleged by the opposite party, it is sufficient in law to sustain the
action or defense, and hence whether the party resting is bound to
answer or proceed further. Demurrer to evidence, an exception taken
by a party to the evidence offered by the opposite party, and an
objecting to proceed further, on the allegation that such evidence is
not sufficient in law to maintain the issue, and a reference to the
court to determine the point. Bouvier.
