Seay, Malone & Lipscomb, of Dallas, for Metropolitan Casualty Ins. Oo. surety on su-persedeas bond.

Opinion:
GREENWOOD, Justice.
In this case, the Court of Civil Appeals, under article 1857, Vernon's Ann. Texas Civil Statutes, entered judgment against the Metropolitan Insurance Company, as surety on the supersedeas appeal bond of plaintiff in error John H. Kirby, and application for writ of error by Kirby has been refused. John H. Kirby having been adjudged bankrupt and asking no rehearing here, his surety asks leave to file a motion for rehearing of the judgment of this court. The supersedeas surety against whom a judgment has been rendered is a party to the suit and to the writ of errok Article 1767, R. S. In order to prevent injustice being done .by an adverse judgment against the surety, he should be heard. He is necessarily represented by his principal, the plaintiff in error in the presentation of assignments of error. While he cannot present new matter, the surety condemned to pay a plaintiff in error's debt may urge errors duly assigned by the plaintiff in error. The motion of the Metropolitan Casualty Insuránce Company asks leave to file a motion confined to the assignments of error of plaintiff in error Kirby. Leave to file same is therefore granted.
