EAGER, Judge
(concurring).
I concur upon the basis and with the understanding that Commissioner Stockard’s opinion, in dealing with Instruction No. 6, means the following: that if the defendant, in such a case as this, is guilty of intentional and wrongful conduct, the natural and probable result of which is the alienation of the affections of plaintiff’s spouse and an interference with plaintiffs marital relationship, that such a result actually follows, and that the jury so finds, then plaintiff may recover damages; and further, that there should be no requirement of a finding of intent on the part of the defendant to cause an alienation of the spouse’s affections in an instruction submitting these facts.
With this explanation, I feel that the opinion of Commissioner Stockard should be adopted as the opinion of the Court.
