JOHN HANCOCK MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY v. WILLIAMS, administrator, et al. McENTIRE, receiver, v. WILLIAMS, administrator, et al.
    
    
      Nos. 7678, 7679.
    February 28, 1931.
    
      
      J. D. Bradwell, for John Hancock Life Insurance Company.
    
      Anderson, Rountree & Crenshaw and George L. Goode, for receiver.
    
      R. T. Camp, J. H. & Bmmeti Shelton, T. Glenn Dorough, W. S. McDaniel, and Little, Powell, Reid & Goldstein, contra.
   Per Curiam.

Motions for rehearing were filed in these two cases, and upon further consideration of the cases this court is of the opinion that the court below erred in holding, that, “McFarlin being the owner of the land included in the drainage district and being one of the petitioners in the establishment' of the district, it was not necessary for the loan company to have notice of the drainage proceedings in order to be bound thereby.” On account of this error, fundamental in its character, the judgment is reversed and set aside; and the court below will, upon the pleadings and evidence contained in the record, modify the decree heretofore rendered, in accordance with the above ruling.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur except

Beck, P. J.,

dissenting. Being of the opinion that the court below properly held that it was not necessary for the loan company, the holder of the security deed, to have notice of the drainage proceedings in order to be bound thereby, I dissent from the judgment of reversal.
