Plaintiff thereupon moved to strike out this defense, pursuant to rules 103, 104, 105, 110 and 112 of the Buies of Civil Practice, and appellants made a cross motion for judgment on the pleadings. Plaintiff’s ‘ motion was granted and appellants’ motion was denied. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.. No opinion. Nolan, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ., concur.
