Counsel

Benjamin Jaffe for appellants., Walter B. Kuhn for respondent.

Sommer v. E. B. Kelly Co.

Opinion of the Court

Memorandum: Per Curiam.

Inasmuch as the defendant’s misrepresentation was one of fact and not one of law, the amended complaint states a good cause of action. It was error, therefore, for the trial court to dismiss the amended complaint before the opening of counsel to the jury.

The judgment should be reversed upon the law and a new trial granted, with costs to plaintiffs to abide the event.

MaoCrate, Smith and Steinbrink, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
