Head Matter:
Cora Hawkins, a Widow, Plaintiff in Error, v. Shore Acres Properties, a Corporation, Defendant in Error.
Division B.
Opinion Filed March 31, 1927.
Bird & J ones, for Plaintiff in Error;
George W. Wylie and Maddox and Maddox, for Defendant in Error.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This writ of error was taken to a judgment for the defendant upon demurrer to a declaration alleging a wrongful death caused by the negligence of defendant.
The declaration does not wholly fail to state a cause of action. The demurrer thereto was therefore erroneously sustained.
The judgment is reversed on the authority of Foster v. St. Johns Electric Co., 86 Fla. 338, 98 South. Rep. 75; Peterson v. Daniels Co., 83 Fla. 29, 90 South. Rep. 621; Wertz v. Tampa Electric Co., 78 Fla. 405, 83 South. Rep. 270; McDonald v. Exchange Supply Co., 88 Fla. 80, 101 South. Rep. 28; Yon v. Pinellas Power Co., filed at this term.
Reversed.
