Brown, 164 Okla. 139, 24 P. 2d 295, in such case it is not the duty of this court to search for some theory upon which to sustain the judgment of the trial court, but where the authorities reasonably support the allegations of the petition in error, this court may in its discretion reverse and remand the cause, with directions.
The authorities cited by the plaintiff in error reasonably sustain the allegations of error. The cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to the trial court to vacate its judgment in favor of defendant in error.
