The opinion

*569 Black, J.

(dissenting). I agree with the reasoning of and disposition made by Division 3 (People v Eddington, 23 Mich App 210 [1970]) and therefore vote to affirm. See, pertinent to one of the salient questions considered below, the dissenting view recorded by Justice T. E. Brennan and myself for People v Trudeau, 385 Mich 276, 281 (1971).
