On Motion for Rehearing.
In a very earnest and able motion for rehearing filed by him, defendant in error Jamison contends that this court erred in its former opinion reversing and rendering the trial court’s judgment in this cause, and in holding that an instructed verdict for plaintiffs in error for the land claimed by them should have been there returned.. He specially insists that we further erred in finding that there was no evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, tending to show that the states called for in the deeds from Crawford and Germer conveying the 20 acres were located other than as called for in the deed. But after a most careful re-examination of the record, we are unconvinced that any error was committed in the respects complained of, and are accordingly impelled to adhere to our former conclusions.
In the sixth ground of the motion for rehearing, however, our attention is called to the fact that, as the judgment now stands, defendant in error Jamison has lost such of the land he sued for as is included in that recovered by plaintiffs in error, and at the' same time has be.en deprived of a recovery of the purchase money therefor against Richards and wife, his warrantors, who were duly impleaded by him in the court below upon thqir warranty. This part of our former judgment is error. We are unable to here render judgment for Jamison against Richards and wife upon this warranty, because there are not sufficient facts in the record from which it can be accurate,ly determined just how much of the land they so warranted to him has been lost, nor the amount paid therefor by plaintiff.
' The motion for rehearing is therefore granted, our former opinion reformed? and judgment of the court below reversed and rendered for plaintiff in error Katherine Modra for the land claimed by her, and that court’s judgment in favor, of Marie L. H. Richards and husband, G. I-I. Richards, is reversed and remanded, with instructions to the trial court to hear evidence, and enter its judgment in favor of defendant in error Jamison against Richards and wife for the amount found to be due, upon their warranty to him.
Granted in part, and judgment of the court below reversed and rendered in part, and in part remanded.
