On Motions for Rehearing and Additional Bindings of Fact.
The appellants’ motion for a rehearing has failed to convince us that we erred in the conclusions heretofore reached and set forth in our original opinion, and will therefore he overruled. Appellants’ motion for additional findings of fact will also be overruled, but a statement made by the witness Matthews, which does not appear in our original opinion, will be given. In our original opinion it is said:
“In one place in Ms testimony the appraiser, Matthews, says, without contradiction, that he notified Mr. Bucklew, who was the adjuster and representative of the appellants, when the appraisers would meet, and that he discussed the plaintiffs’ claim; that he (Bucklew) appeared before them in his (Matthews’) office and discussed the matter with them fully.”
This statement was made by the witness, as said in one place in his testimony, but in another place in his testimony he said:
“We did not notify Mr. Harmon or Mr. Buck-lew, or any representative of the insurance company, as to when we were going to meet and try to appraise the list.”
This additional statement of the witness, it occurs to us, should have been quoted in our original opinion; and, as it was omitted, we now give it for what it is worth. It does not, however, in our opinion, materially affect the questions involved.
