Mr. Justice Otto Bock
dissenting.
I have some doubt with respect to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the family-car doctrine. Otherwise, I think the evidence upholds the findings of the trial court. True, plaintiff did not make a strong case, but when we reflect that it was solely within the province of the trial court to decide upon the credibility of witnesses and the weight to be given to their testimony, and that under the circumstances every fact necessary to support the findings is presumed to have been found in favor of the prevailing party, it is my opinion, from a careful perusal of the record, that there was sufficient conflicting evidence to sustain the findings.
