Opinion

Bboyles, J.

The answer to the petition alleged facts which, if proved, would have authorized a verdict for the defendant; and the demurrer, of course, admits the truth of all facts alleged in the pleading which it attacks. The answer was not subject to general demurrer; and, in the absence of a special demurrer, the court erred in striking the answer and in directing a verdict for the plaintiff. Judgment reversed.
