Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

BREWER, C.

This appeal by case-made was filed in this court February 27, 1912. The plaintiff in error filed brief on May 29, 1912. The defendant in error has not filed a brief, and has given no reason for not doing so.

We have examined the errors assigned in the brief for plaintiff in error, and the record upon which they are predicated, and *429 the grounds urged for reversal appear to be well taken. In such situation we are not required to search the record, or to hunt for authorities, to find some theory upon which the judgment may possibly be sustained. Butler v.
