The opinion

SEYMOUR, Justice (concurring specially)-

I concur in the foregoing opinion except in one respect, immaterial to the conclusion reached.

By the deed to Brown and his wife in 1937, in my opinion Mrs. Brown acquired a one-haif interest in the property as a tenant in common. While this statement is in conflict with the case of August v. Tillian, 1947, 51 N.M. 74 , 178 P.2d 590 , in my judgment the decision in that case is wrong. The only purpose of this special concurrence is an effort to avoid having the rule stated in that case become a rule of property.
