Under the law, as settled before the constitution of 1890, the plaintiff had no case.

Whether the father, as such, may maintain an action for the death of his son, in eases where a right of recovery is declared b}r § 198 of the constitution, has not been argued in this ease, and we pretermit any intimation as to this, which is mentioned for the purpose of excluding the conclusion that this question was either overlooked or impliedly decided. Its consideration and decision was unnecessary, in vietv of the conclusion that the plaintiff' did not make out his ease, if entitled to sue.
Affirmed.
