The complaint states a sufficient cause of action at law though not in equity. Consequently, an answer having been interposed, the court should not have dismissed the complaint. ( Clark v. Levy, 130 App. Div. 389; Perrin v. Smith, 135 id. 127; Kraemer v. World Wide Trading Co., Inc., 195 id. 305.)

The order should be reversed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements, and the motion denied.
