*268Lovins, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent from the opinion of the Court in this case.
My reasons for dissenting are stated in the dissenting opinions filed in the cases of State ex rel. Davis Trust Company v. Sims, 130 W. Va. 623, 46 S. E. 2d 90; State ex rel. Catron v. Sims, 133 W. Va. 610, 57 S. E. 2d 465; State ex rel. Utterback v. Sims, 136 W. Va. 822, 68 S. E. 2d 678; State ex rel. Bumgarner v. Sims, 139 W. Va. 92, 79 S. E. 2d 277, and the reasons set forth in the dissenting opinions written by Judge Fox in the cases of Saunders v. Sims, 134 W. Va. 163, 58 S. E. 2d 654; State ex rel. Jordan v. Sims, 134 W. Va. 167, 58 S. E. 2d 650; Price v. Sims, 134 W. Va. 173, 58 S. E. 2d 657.
The conclusion reached in the instant case, in my opinion, is contrary to the provisions of Section 35, Article VI, and Section 6, Article X of the Constitution of this State.
It is unnecessary to repeat those reasons since my views concerning moral obligation have been heretofore stated.
