Mr. Justice Elliott

¶1(who presided below). I concur in the foregoing opinion. The chief justice is quite right in supposing that the case of Ross v. Duggan was not cited at nisi prius. I did not have the opinion in that *302case in mind at the trial, or I should gladly have followed it, instead of the Pennsylvania cases then referred to. This case serves to emphasize what was said in Crane v. Farmer, ante, p. 294, about the importance of giving attention to our own reports.
