The opinion
TRAYNOR, J.
I concur. My views with respect to the scope of appellate review in cases where “clear and convincing evidence” is required are set forth in my dissenting opinions in Stromerson v. Averill, 22 Cal.2d 808, 817 [ 141 P.2d 732 ], and Beeler v. American Trust Co., 24 Cal.2d 1, 29 [ 147 P.2d 583 ], These views remain unchanged, but the rule announced in those cases now governs the scope of appellate review in this state.
