The opinion

G-aby, J. I dissent upon the ground that the result arrived at is inconsistent with all former decisions of the Supreme Court upon the subject-matter of the petition, unless they are qualified by Byan v. Cudahy, cited in the opinion of Judge Waterman, which the Supreme Court in that opinion say is not the case.
