Opinion

Per Curiam.

The order denying the defendant’s motion to strike out parts of the complaint should be reversed and the motion granted on the ground that paragraphs “ Fourth,” “ Fifth,” “ Sixth,” “ Seventh ” and “ Ninth ” fail to comply with rule 280 of the Rules of Civil Practice and that the allegations of fact contained in paragraph “ Tenth ” of the complaint fail to sustain a cause of action for abandonment.

The order, in so far as it denies the defendant’s motion to strike out parts of the complaint, should be reversed and the motion granted, with leave to the plaintiff to serve an amended complaint. The order, to the extent that it grants the plaintiff’s motion for temporary alimony and counsel fee, should be reversed and motion denied, with leave to the plaintiff to renew the motion upon service of a proper complaint.
