No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Thornton

Thornton, J.

The court erred in allowing the following question to be put to one Daniel Meader, who was called as a witness for plaintiff: “ Do you know, by general reputation, who owned the west one half of block 229?” The question was answered by witness that it was by general reputation said to be the property of Mrs. Rosina Berniaud. Mrs. Berniaud is the person for whom this action is prosecuted by J. M. Hogan, her guardian *395ad litem. We find no other error in the record. Judgment reversed and cause remanded.

McFarland, J., and Sharpstein, J., concurred.

Hearing in Bank denied.
