SEYMOUR, Justice (concurring specially)- I concur in the foregoing opinion except in one respect, immaterial to the conclusion reached. By the deed to Brown and his wife in 1937, in my opinion Mrs. Brown acquired a one-haif interest in the property as a tenant in common. While this statement is in conflict with the case of August v. Tillian, 1947, 51 N.M. 74, 178 P.2d 590, in my judgment the decision in that case is wrong. The only purpose of this special concurrence is an effort to avoid having the rule stated in that case become a rule of property.
