## Opinion text

DIXON, Justice
(concurring).
I fully concur, except that I would not suggest that Arnold had more than six months (C.C. 191) from the date he testified to bring an action en desaveu. If he did not at that time actually know of the birth of the child, the circumstances were such that he should have been placed on notice, and should have known.
