Abstract of the Decision.

Appeal and error, § 1813*—when opinion in former decision- is adopted. Where the facts, pleadings and arguments of counsel in an action to recover for a death were substantially the same as in another case arising from the same accident in which an opinion was rendered by the Appellate Court, such court adopted the opinion as its opinion in the case at bar.
