One who passes from place to place, whether for pleasure, in- struction, business, or health; 47 Ala. 45; 5 C. B. N. S. 442; 10 id. 429. The term is used to designate those who patronize inns; the distance which they travel is not ma- terial; 35 Conn. 185. The question whether one is or is not a bona fide traveller is one of fact; [1893] 1 Q. B. 522. One would be a traveller if he came abroad from any legitimate motive and needed refreshment, but not if he came abroad merely to go to a public house and obtain a drink; 17 C. B. N. S. 539. Walking for exercise is not travelling; 14 Allen 475. Within the meaning of a policy of insurance, one who has been carried by a steamboat and walked eight miles from the landing to his home is not, whilst walking, a traveller by public or private conveyance; 16 Wall. 336. Within the meaning of a law allowing a person travel- ling to carry concealed weapons, the trav- elling must be on a journey beyond the ordinary habit, business, or duties of a per- son, and beyond the circle of his friends and acquaintances; 53 Ala. 520; 42 Tex. 464. See SUNDAY. Traveler's Insurance. "Traveler's in- surance" is a distinct branch of insurance relating to the insurance of lives of persons engaged in traveling. It is a generic term. 142 Ky. 529, 134 S. W. 877, TRAVERSE (L. Fr. traverser, to turn over, to deny). To deny; to put off. In Civil Pleading. To deny or con- trovert anything which is alleged in the previous pleading. Lawes, PL. 116. A denial. Willes 224. A direct denial in formal words: "Without this, that, etc." (abaque hoc). 1 Chitty, Pl. 523, n. a. A traverse may deny all the facts alleged; 1 Chitty, Pl. 525; or any particular material fact; 20 Johns. 406. A common traverse is a direct denial, in common language, of the adverse allega- tions, without the absque hoc, and conclud- ing to the country. It is not preceded by an inducement, and hence cannot be used where an inducement is requisite: 1 Saund. 103 b. A general traverse is one preceded by a general inducement and denying all that is last before alleged on the opposite side, in general terms, instead of pursuing the words of the allegation which it denies ; Pepper, Pl. 17. Of this sort of traverse the replication de injuria sua propria ab- sque tali causa, in answer to a justification, is a familiar example; Steph. Pl. 171 A special traverse is one which com- mences with the words absque hoc, and pursues the material portion of the words of the allegation which it denies; Lawes, Pl. 116. It is regularly preceded by an in- ducement consisting of new matter; Steph. Pl. 188. A special traverse does not com- plete an issue, as does a common traverse; 20 Viner. Abr. 339. A traverse upon a traverse is one grow- ing out of the same point or subject-matter as is embraced in a preceding traverse on the other side; Gould, Pl. c. 7, § 42, n. It is a general rule that a traverse well in- tended on one side must be accepted on the other. And hence it follows, as a general rule, that there cannot be a traverse upon a traverse if the first traverse is material. The meaning of the rule is that when one party has tendered a material traverse the other cannot leave it and tender another of his own to the same point upon the in- ducement of the first traverse, but must join in that first tendered; otherwise the parties might alternately tender traverses to each other in unlimited succession, without coming to an issue; Gould, PL. c. 7, § 42. The rule, however, does not apply where the first traverse is immaterial, nor where it is material if the plaintiff would thereby be ousted of some right or liberty which the law allows; Cro. Eliz. 99, 418; Bacon, Abr. Pleas (H 4). In Criminal Practice. To put off or delay the trial of an indictment till a suc- ceeding term. More properly, to deny or take issue upon an indictment. 4 Bla.
