MARY WEBSTER SMITH v. GEORGE A. MEARS et al.
    (Filed 8 January, 1941.)
    Appeal and Error § 43—
    Petition to reliear allowed in this ease in order to modify the former opinion.
    PetitioN to rebear tbis ease, reported ante, 193, 10 S. E. (2d), 659.
    
      Jordan <£• Horner for petitioner.
    
    
      Sanford W. Brown and J. W. Haynes for respondent.
    
   Stacy, C. J.

Tbe plaintiffs petition to rebear was allowed in part in order that tbe Court might reconsider tbe following paragraph in the original opinion:

“It is stated in appellant’s brief that Martha Webster McLeod, under the will of her brother, J ay J. Mears, acquired a one-fourth interest in all the property which he received from his father, and that this is erroneously stated in the judgment to be a one-sixteenth interest. The inadvertence is apparently conceded as the matter is not mentioned in the other briefs.”

Martha Webster McLeod now concedes that in view of the interpretation placed upon the will of G. Augustus Mears, she takes no additional interest in the several properties under the will of Jay J. Mears. Hence, the paragraph above quoted will be deleted from the opinion.

Petition allowed in part.
