On Motion for Rehearing.
We are of the opinion that appellants’ motion should be granted to the extent of reforming the judgment of the trial court, in so far as it decrees that appellant Mrs. Zelma Adams is not the natural mother of Shirley Gillis, the child in question,, for the reason that, after the taking of the nonsuit, there did not remain before the court the issue as to the parentage of said child as claimed by appellants, and, further, the determination of that issue was not necessary to decree the custody and care of said child to appellees.
Therefore said decree is reformed by eliminating therefrom the following:
“It is the further finding, order, judgment, and decree of the court upon the evidence that the minor, Shirley Francis Gillis, is not the child of said Mrs. Zelma Adams and her husband, B. A. Adams, or either of them,”
—and, as reformed, said judgment is affirmed, and said motion for rehearing is in all other respects overruled.
