Fontenot v. Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co.

Opinion of the Court

In re: Wallace Fontenot applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Acadia. 197 So.2d 715.

*899Writ refused. While we have grave doubt that that portion of the opinion of the Court of Appeal dividing the leases horizontal ly is correct, we nevertheless find that, under the facts and circumstances as found by the Court of Appeal, the result reached by that Court is correct.

SUMMERS, J., is of the opinion a writ should be granted.
