The causes assigned for demurrer do not ap—pear in the complaint, and therefore ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍can be taken advantage of only by answer.

The case will be remanded to the end that the defendants-may answer, and on failure to do which there ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍should be-judgment for plaintiff.

We call attention to the fact that C. C. P. § 91, requires-that the “complaint” should contain “a plain and concise-statement of the facts constituting ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍the cause of’ action.” It’ may be that the complaint in this case is at fault in that‘particular. If so, it may be amended by leave.

There ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍was no error in overruling the. demurrer but there^ was error in giving judgment for the demand without allow‘-ing an answer. Bat: Rev. ch. 17, § 181.

Case ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍remanded. Each party will pay his own costs in this* Court.

Per Cukiam. Judgment accordingly-
