PER CURIAM.

REVERSED. Under the circumstances of this case, it is our view that the trial court erred in refusing to allow the appellant to establish on cross-examination that one of the prosecution’s principal witnesses was on probation. See Davis v. Alaska, 415

U.S. 308, 94 S.Ct. 1105, 39 L.Ed.2d 347 (1974). Accordingly, this cause is reversed for a new trial.
