• 37 Tex. 171

Syllabus

<p>1. In an action for rent it is competent for the defendant to plead, by way of reconvention, a breach of the plaintiff’s covenant to repair.</p> <p>3. A plea in reconvention is in the nature of a cross bill asking equitable relief, and it must aver matter which would be good in an original bill, or would constitute a good cause of action.</p> <p>3. All matters may be pleaded by way of reconvention which are necessarily connected with the main action, or are incidental to the same. (Walcott v. Hendrick, 6 Texas, 418, cited by the court.)</p>
