The opinion of the Court was delivered by
. Mr. Justice Gary.
This is.an appeal from an order, overruling a demurrer to the complaint, on the ground that several causes of action, have been improperly united.
His Honor, the presiding Judge, ordered "that the demurrer be overruled, for the reason that the complaint, appears to state several causes of action, jumbled in one."
The allegations are set forth, in form as a single cause of action, and the ruling of the Circuit Judge is sustained by the case of Marion v. Charleston, 68 S. C., 257, 47 S. E., 140.
Appeal dismissed.
