Opinion of the Court

By tbe court:

The Circuit Judge must be put in tbe wrong, or a reverse! will not be bad.

Rehearing refused.

Dissenting Opinion

McKinney J.,

dissenting:

Where the Circuit Judge undertakes to lay down, the law and does it imperfectly, it is error. Otherwise, where the matter decided is merely illustrative. The true rule in this case is that the debits are to be taken, except so far as disproved.
