SPENCE, J.
I concur in the affirmance of the first order but dissent from the reversal of the second. It appears to me that the District Court of Appeal correctly determined, under the majority view in Lohman v. Lohman, 29 Cal.2d 144 [173 P.2d 657], that the trial court was justified in recalling the writ of execution previously issued (Di Corpo v. Di Corpo, 85 A.C.A. 728, 193 P.2d 963); but in any event, I still adhere to' the views expressed in my dissenting opinion in the Lohman case. I do not believe that plaintiff was entitled as a matter of right to the issuance of execution in 1947, for any alleged unpaid installments which may have accrued upon the interlocutory decree which was entered in 1932. On the contrary, I believe that the question of whether execution should have issued and the question of whether the writ of execution previously issued should have been recalled were matters within the discretion of the trial court. In my opinion, both orders should be affirmed as the record shows no abuse of discretion.
Schauer, J., concurred.
