Plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss the defenses and defendant’s counterclaim as insufficient in law should have been granted except as to the fifth defense (the six-year Statute of Limitations) which is in form sufficient. The motion to strike out as sham certain other paragraphs of the answer under rules 103 and 104 of the Rules of Civil Practice should be denied.
