This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court of Delaware county in an action wherein the plaintiff in error was defendant. The plaintiff in error in due time served and filed its brief in full compliance with the rules of this court, but the defendant in error has wholly failed to file any brief, or to otherwise appear in this court on the merits of the cause, nor has he offered ,any excuse for his failure to do so.

“Where plaintiff in error has served and filed its brief in compliance with the rules of this court, and the defendant in error has neither filed a brief nor offered any excuse for his failure to do so, this court is not required to search the record to find some theory upon which the judgment of the trial court may be sustained, but may, wlÜere the authorities cited in the brief filed, appear reasonably to sustain the assignments cf error, reverse’ the cause, with directions, in accordance with the prayer of the petition in error.” City National Bank v. Coatney, 122 Okla. 233, 253 Pac. 481.

In this ease, the petition in error prays that the judgment rendered in the trial court be reversed, set aside, and held for naught, and that judgment be rendered in favor of plaintiff in error against the defendant in error, and we find, upon examination, the authorities cited by the plaintiff, in error reasonably support the contention of the plaintiff in error, and therefore reverse the judgment of the lovrer court and direct it to vacate its former judgment and enter judgment for the plaintiff in error.
