Shore Ex Rel. Welborn v. Shore

Plaintiff’s objection to defendant’s cross action cannot be taken by demurrer ore tenus when the cause comes on for trial, since the objection does not go to the statement of a cause of action or the jurisdiction of the court. C. S., 518; Baker v. Garris, 108 N. C., 219, 225, 13 S. E., 2; Poovey v. Hickory, 210 N. C., 630, 631, 188 S. E., 78; Gurganus v. McLawhorn, 212 N. C., 397, 183 S. E., 844. That question is therefore not properly before us, but under our liberal practice, and quite within the limits of our statute on procedure, the cross action should be entertained. C. S., 519, 521.
