The opinion

FOURNET, Chief Justice

(dissenting).

I cannot subscribe to the majority view that a heritable action abates upon the death of the plaintiff. I can think of no sound or logical reason that would support this conclusion. Such a holding can have no other effect than to delay the trial of the case, which is contra^ to the policy now universally prevailing of expediting the administration of justice.
