Syllabus

¶0 Appeal and Error--Failure of Defendant in Error to File Brief--Reversal. Where plaintiff in error has served and filed its brief in compliance with the rules of this court, and the defendant in error has neither filed a brief nor offered any excuse for his failure to do so, this court is not required to search the record to find some theory upon which the judgment of the trial court may be sustained, but may, where the authorities cited in the brief filed, appear reasonably to sustain the assignments of error, reverse the cause, with directions, in accordance with the prayer of the petition in error.

H. N. Whalin, for plaintiff in error.
J. F. Thomas, for defendants in error.
