Opinion:
WALKER, J.
This case originated in the justice court and was by Rene 'Gallett against appellant and A. W. Pabra Auto Supply Company for damages to his automobile, resulting from a collision between his car and appellant's car while being driven by a servant in the general employment of A. W. Pabra Autd Supply Company. Appellant denied that he was guilty of negligence in the collision, and specially pleaded that the servant driving his car was the servant of A. W. Pabra Auto Supply Company, whose negligence, if any there was, was the' proximate 'cause of the collision, and prayed for judgment against that company for any amount that might be rendered against him.
The case, on appeal from the justice court, was tried de novo in the county court without a jury. On conclusions that A; W. Pabra Auto Supply Company loaned its servant to appellant for the purpose of driving his car, that the negligence resulting in the accident was both that of appellant and that of the driver of the ear, that appellant had the control and management of the servant while he was driving the ear, that he was the agent and servant of appellant while driving the car at the timé ' of the collision, and that A. W. Pabra Auto Supply Company had no control of the acts of the servant, judgment was entered in favor of Rene Gallett against appellant for the sum of $110, being the amount of damages sustained as a result of the collision, and in favor of A. W. Pabra Auto Supply Company that it go hence and recover its costs.
As there is no statement of facts in the record, we must conclude that the evidence sustained the trial court's conclusions of fact. On 'these conclusions, judgment was properly entered against appellant for the amount of damages sustained, and in favor of A. W. Pabra Auto Supply Company relieving it of all liability. 39 C. J. 1274.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
