Gordon & Young, for Appellant.
Charles A. Low, for Respondent.
It appears from tbe record that tbe verdict of tbe jury is assailed by the specifications, on tbe ground of tbe insufficiency of tbe evidence to support it.
There is no brief on file by respondent, nor was tbe case orally argued in his behalf; it therefore follows, on the authority of Richter v. Fresno etc. Co., 101 Cal. 582 , and Davis v. Hart, 103 Cal. 530 , that the judgment and order appealed from should be reversed.
So ordered
McFarland, J., and De Haven, J., concurred;
