1. The cross-action was not subject to a general demurrer on the ground that it alleged an unenforceable contract nor was it subject to a general demurrer on the ground that it showed the defendant was an unlicensed real estate broker and was suing for commissions; therefore, the court did not err in overruling the demurrers to the cross-action.
2. Since the defendant proved his case as alleged in his cross-action, the court erred in granting a nonsuit.
Ralph W. Didschuneit sued J. C. Barnes and Lucile Barnes on a promissory note. The defendants admitted a prima facie case on the note, but the defendant J. C. Barnes filed a cross-action. The plaintiff's general demurrers to the cross-action were overruled. The defendant J. C.
