    Elizabeth T. Fisher et al., Respondents, v. Ideal Publishing Corp. et al., Appellants.
   The allegations of paragraphs 12 and 13 are irrelevant, unnecessary and tend to prejudice the fair trial of the action within the meaning of rule 103 of the Rules of Civil Practice, In characterizing the acts of defendants in publishing the alleged libel one of the paragraphs contains the statement, among others, that the publication was “sensational, yellow journalism — in subversion of every standard of honest and responsible reporting ”. This conceivably might be proper in a summation but it has no place in a pleading. We recognize the rule, as contended by plaintiffs, that the burden of proof is on them to establish malice in order to be awarded punitive damages (Seelman, Law of Libel and Slander', par. 366) but such a claim may be pleaded without the embellishments found in these paragraphs, (See 8 Bender’s Forms for the Civil Practice Acts, pp. 482, 483, 486.) Similarly objectionable is each cause of action alleged on behalf of a named plaintiff insofar as it contains allegations relating to the coplaintiff on whose behalf the action is not brought. The result is that each cause of action of each plaintiff is alleged twice, once as part of his or her own cause of action and once as part of the eoplaintiff’s cause of action. This is improper.
