The opinion

My views have not changed since the case of Henry, County Treasurer, v. Wilson, 224 Ala. 261 , 139 So. 259 , in which I dissented. While that case controls this, I see no reason again to dissent, but, on the other hand, think now, as I did then, that our decisions ought to be stable; and, when once fixed after due consideration, we ought to abide by them. For that reason, I concur with the majority in this case.
