Judgment of the Court of Appeals affirmed.



Syllabus by the Court.

[Ohio St. 605]1. When the Court of Appeals certifies its record to this court for review, on the ground that the decision which the appellate court has reached on one of the grounds of reversal is in conflict with the decision of another Court of Appeals upon the same question, such action of the Court of Appeals brings [Ohio St. 606]the entire case to this court for review, and this court is not limited to a consideration of the single error with respect to which the Court of Appeals has certified the case here for review.

2. When the Court of Appeals, in addition to certifying a case as in conflict, renders a judgment affirming or reversing the judgment of the trial court, this court will affirm or reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals as the law of the case may require.


C. A. & L. B. Weldon, and Barton Walters, all of Circleville, for plaintiff in error.

Charles H. May, of Circleville, and Williams, Williams, Klapp & Reynolds, of Columbus, for defendant in error.
