Blandin, J.,
concurring specially. I did not take part in the decision of Dean v. Smith, 106 N. H. 314 but I believed then as now that in the interest of stability and consistency in our jurisprudence we should have left the matter to the Legislature in accordance with our previously established policy. Levesque v. Levesque, 99 N. H. 147, 149; Worrall v. Moran, 101 N. H. 13, 14.
However the Dean case is now our law and the present holding seems to me a logical and indeed inevitable extension of the rationale of the Dean decision. For this reason I concur in the opinion.
