Railway Co., Id. 471, this order must be reversed, The cases cited by respondent were all decided before the two eases above cited,' and, so far as they hold that a general denial can be stricken out as sham, are overruled. The only variation from the rule as laid down in these cases has been where a party has been examined before trial, and has admitted the falsity of the answer. Order reversed, with costs to abide event.
