Notations

*A motion to dismiss or erase reaches only defects appearing on the face of the record; since nothing about Nevada proceedings was apparent on the face of the record, the claimed fact that plaintiff obtained a divorce under a counterclaim in those proceedings did not furnish ground for erasing the present action. 150 C. 15. A judgment may properly be rendered for any relief which the proof of the facts alleged is sufficient in law to support, whatever view the court may take of the classification of the cause of action. Id., 266.
