On Motion for Rehearing.
At a former day of this term, we reversed and remanded this cause, upon the ground that the court refused to give appellants’ special charge No. 6 upon the issue of volunteer. ,On motion for rehearing, our attention has been directed to special charge No. 4, which was given by the court upon this issue, which fact was not specifically called to our attention in appellee’s brief. We think special charge No. 4 is a correct presentation of the law upon that issue. A further investigation of the record shows that appellants’ third and fourth assignments are not well taken, since the evidence seems to be sufficient to warrant the jury in finding for appellee. The fifth assignment of error, which was not passed upon in the original opinion, is also overruled upon the authority of Wichita Cotton Oil Company v. W. B. Hanna, 139 S. W. 1000.
The sixth assignment of error, relating to the action of the court in overruling defendants’ motion for a new trial, which we did not pass upon in the original opinion, for the reason that the same could not arise upon another trial, is also overruled, because the application for continuance did not show sufficient ground to entitle appellants to a new trial upon newly discovered testimony.
For the reasons stated, our former opinion, reversing the judgment of the trial court and remanding the cause, is set aside, and the judgment is affirmed.
