will never chañare the venue on a general affidavit. To entitle the defendant to prevail in his motion, the affidavit must be special; that is, it must state, that the defendant has reason to believe that special matter is intended to be given in evidence, enumerate the particulars, and declare that it arose in the county to which he would remove the cause, and not -elsewhere.

Motion denied.
