James Kronopolos, Defendant in Error, v. P. O’Byrne, Plaintiff in Error.
    Gen. No. 23,034.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Pleading, § 466
      
       — when declaration is sufficient to support judgment. While many inferences are indulged • after verdict, in determining whether a declaration states a good cause of action, if it does not from its context, with all legal intendments in its favor, state a cause of action, it will be insufficient to support a judgment.
    2. Appeal and ebbob, § 1184* — what is reviewable. The question whether , or not a declaration states a good cause of action is reviewable.
    3. Appeal and ebbob, § 1802* — when judgment reversed with directions to permit defendant to demur or plead to declaration. Where a declaration is so defective that it cannot be determined from any averment of fact contained in it whether it is a declaration in tort or in ^assumpsit or is a criminal indictment and no fact averred nor all of the facts averred constitute a cause of action, a judgment for plaintiff will he reversed with directions, to permit defendant to demur or plead if he shall so move.
