To the declaration the defendant filed six pleas, the first and fourth of which were respectively ""that it never was indebted as alleged,"" and ""that the plaintiff ought not to have its action aforesaid against it because it has fully paid all legal obligations due by it to the State of Florida under and by the terms of the laws of the State of Florida under which it is transacting its business.""

Errors are assigned upon the sustaining of the respective demurrers to these several pleas, but we deem it unnecessary to set forth either the pleas or the grounds of the demurrers. The plaintiff joined issue upon the first and fourth pleas, which we have copied above, and the cause was submitted to the court for trial and disposition upon the following agreed statement of facts:
