BAILES, Judge.
The question presented for determination in this appeal is, does LSA-C.C. Art. 2315, as now amended, grant a right of action to a mother, illegitimate children and a concubine to sue for damages for the alleged wrongful death of the son, father and concubinary, respectively, when such deceased person is survived by a lawful wife and legitimate children. The mother, two illegitimate children and concubine of Robert Whatley instituted this action against defendants to recover in their own right under the provisions of LSA-C.C. Art. 2315 for the death of Robert Whatley.
