The brief of plaintiff in error and the authorities therein cited seem to sustain the assignments of error therein taken. In such case this court will not search the record for reasons to sustain the judgment of the court below, but will reverse and remand the cause. ¶2 The judgment of the court below should therefore be reversed, and the cause remanded. ¶3 By the Court: It is so ordered.
