He alleges that the affidavit filed by the plaintiffs, under rule 19, was insufficient; that the notice to quit did not comply with the requirements of the Code; and that the defendant was entitled to a trial by jury as to whether or not the plaintiffs were bona fide purchasers under the S'aulsbury Resolution.
