1Opinion of the CourtRapallo, J.
At the opening of the trial the defend-ant moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The motion was denied and exception taken. The reason assigned was that the defendant should have demurred.
This position is in conflict with section 148 of the Code and with many decisions of this court. If the complaint was bad in substance the objection was available on the trial and the motion to dismiss should have been granted. (Schofield v. Whitelegge, 49 N. Y., 259; Coffin v. Reynolds, 37 id., 640; Emery v. Pease, 20 id., 62.)
