Edward James DROEGE and Calene Droege, his wife, Appellants, v. SECURITY AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION OF the PALM BEACHES, a Florida corporation, Orr Woodworks, Inc. a Florida corporation, Orr Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, Gheorghe Sziics, Andy Christensen and Louis Green, Appellees.
    No. 84-413.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    May 15, 1985.
    John Avery, Jupiter, and Edna L. Caruso of Edna L. Caruso, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellants.
    Stanley Hyman of Stierer, Amendola, Kaplan & Hyman, West Palm Beach, for appellee — Security and Inv. Corp. of the Palm Beaches.
   PER CURIAM.

We find that neither Peoples Mortgage Company nor Security and Investment Corporation of the Palm Beaches were holders in due course; and that appellants’ defenses should have been tried or pled, together with any reply thereto by appellee, Security. We reverse and remand with direction to retry the case, considering appellants’ defenses and appellee’s reply thereto. The trial court may consider amendments to pleadings by either party upon remand, should either desire to have same considered.

HERSEY, GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
