1949We need not consider whether the complaint states facts sufficient to constitute such cause of action if it does state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action for any other relief, as the fifth subdivision of the prayer of the complaint is as follows: ‘That the plaintiffs may have such other and further relief as shall be meet and agreeable to equity and good conscience.’ This is sufficient to warrant the court in granting any relief to which the plaintiffs are entitled upon the allegations of the complaint and the proof introduced * * In Davis v. Freisheimer, 68 Mont. 322 , 219 Pac.
