Obsolete.In the technical language of a system of procedure now abolished, the plaintiff was said to ‘count’ when he declared by the mouth of his advocate, or by written document, the nature of his complaint, while ‘plead’ and ‘plea’ were specifically used of the defendant's answer to the plaintiff's count or counts.A serjeant-at-law when appointed went before the judges and formally opened an imaginary case, in order to manifest his right to ‘count’ or plead.
