Dubuque Fire & Marine Insurance Co. v. Roberts

HALLEY, Justice. Plaintiff obtained a judgment in the trial court against the defendant from which defendant appealed by petition in error and case-made and on July 8, 1954, filed its brief.

Hines, 186 Okl. 583, 99 P.2d 498, it is not the duty of this Court to search the record for some theory upon which to sustain the action of the trial court but-the cause may be reversed and remanded, with directions. The cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to vacate the judgment entered for the plaintiff and enter judgment for the defendant. JOHNSON, C. J. and CORN, DAVI-SON, BLACKBIRD, JACKSON and HUNT, JJ., concur'. ■ WILLIAMS, V. C. J., concurs in reversal, dissents as to rendition of judgment.
