On Motion for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
In the motion for rehearing the question of the sanity of plaintiff has been raised. There were no suggestions of insanity made at the trial. This case has resulted in the plaintiff receiving all the relief he sought or which it was possible for him to receive. As in the case' of an infant appearing by attorney, when a plaintiff is “blest by success” in maintaining his cause, the matter is on a different basis from a situation in which the result is adverse. See, Reineman v. Larkin, 222 Mo. 156, 121 S.W. 307. In ah action by an insane person such a favorable judgment is not void. See, 44 C.J.S., Insane Persons, § 141, p. 303, § 151, p. 325; see also, 28 Am.Jur. 735, Sec. 103. If plaintiff now needs protection by representation or guardianship, there is ample judicial and statutory authority for providing such protection.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
