Riley, Judge,
dissenting in part:
I believe that the opinions in the cases of Perkins v. Hanna, 127 W. Va. 527, 34 S. E. 2d 7, and State v. Leadmon, 131 W. Va. 378, 48 S. E. 2d 663, state sound principles of law. I thought so when I joined in the decisions of those-cases, and further examination and consideration of the-questions there presented give me no reason for a change-of views.
I also am of opinion that the well considered decisions of this Court should not change when the personnel of the *619Court changes; that the law should have some stability; and, therefore, I dissent from the part of the foregoing opinion which overrules the cases of Perkins v. Hanna, supra, and State v. Leadmon, supra.
Judge Lovins joins me in this note of dissent.
