Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):

COMES, pleading. In a plea, the defendant says, "And the said C D, by E F,
his attorney, comes, and defends, &c. The word comes, venit, expresses the
appearance of the defendant, in court. It is taken from the style of the
entry of the proceedings on the record, and formed no part of the viva voce
pleading. It is, accordingly, not considered as, in strictness, constituting
a part of the Plea. 1 Chit. Pl. 411; Steph. Pl. 432.
