“The judgment of the lower court is against the overwhelming weight of the law and the evidence. The lower court erred in holding that the appellee was not guilty 'of laches and in not dismissing this suit because of appellee’s laches in bringing same. The lower court erred in not holding that there was a substantial compliance by appellants with Section 5851, Mississippi Code of 1942. The court erred in not reducing the amount of judgment incommensurate with the earnings of appellee from the time of his dismissal to the trial of this cause.”
