Co., decided by this court on November 9, 1906 (100 Tex. 177 [100 Tex. 177]). That case was argued orally and it was understood that the argument applied to the present cases. For the reasons given in the opinion in that case, in the foregoing cases the judgments of the Court of Civil Appeals are reversed and judgments of the District Court affirmed.
