## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Farthing
also concurring in the dissent:
Like Mr. Justice Dickey in Purcell v. Parks, 82 Ill. 346 , I find that I must dissent from the majority of the court, although I prepared the opinion the majority adopted. If a precedent were needed to support the action of Mr. Justice Dickey it would be found in Warren v. Nexsen, 3 Scam. 38 , where Mr. Justice Douglass reversed a judgment he had rendered as judge of the circuit court of Hancock county.
In spite of the unusual situation noted, I fully concur in the dissent for the reasons therein stated.
