256 La. 789
    ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY v. William W. CULLEN et al.
    No. 50676.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 22, 1970.
   In re: William W. Cullen and Firemen’s Fund Insurance Company applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of St. Charles. 235 So.2d 154.

Writ denied. The result is correct. Contributory negligence is usually not a bar to recovery against a defendant whose act is wrongful and intended to damage a legally protected interest of plaintiff.

HAMLIN, J., concurs, he believing that the result is correct, and no further.

SUMMERS and TATE, JJ., are of the opinion the writ should be granted.
