HAMITER, Judge.

For the reasons assigned in Edward Parks v. Harvey Hall et al., 179 So. 868, this day decided by us, the judgment appealed from, in so far as the defendants M.L. Gans and Phoenix Indemnity Company are concerned, is set aside and reversed, and plaintiff's suit is dismissed at his cost in both courts.

TALIAFERRO, Judge.

DREW, J., dissents.

DREW, Judge (dissenting).

I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in this case for the reason that I am of the opinion that the omnibus clause in the insurance policy covers the case and makes the insurance company liable thereunder. In my opinion the driver of the car causing the damage was lawfully in possession of same at the time of the accident.

On Rehearing.
