SENTRY INSURANCE, a Mutual Company v. ARKLA TEX AUTO AUCTION, INC.
    No. 55739.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 31, 1975.
   In re: Arkla Tex. Auto Auction, Inc. applying for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, Parish of Caddo. 303 So.2d 516.

Writ denied. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, there is no error of law in the judgment.

BARHAM, J.,

concurs. I agree that relator is a compensated depositary. The facts related in the opinion show no departure from use of “the same diligence in preserving the deposit that he uses in preserving his own.” Nevertheless I accept the Court of Appeal’s statement that in the full evidence relator “failed to establish its freedom from fault.”

DIXON, J.,

dissents from the refusal, believing the burden placed on the depositary exceeds ordinary diligence.

MARCUS, J., dissents from the refusal to grant the writ.
