## Opinion text

Douglas, J.,
concurring. If it were an open question I would feel inclined to concur in the opinion of Justice Walker, but I found the question settled when I came upon the bench, and yielded my personal views to the authority of adjudicated precedents. At the same time I did not think it necessary to carry it any further. In this spirit I wrote, for a unanimous Court, the opinions in the cases of Brown v. Nimocks, 124 N. C., 417 , and Hall v. Cottingham, Ibid., 402, by which I must abide.
