On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant, in its motion for rehearing, complains that in our original opinion we stated that the falling limb struck appellee on his knee, causing injuries thereto, but that the record shows that this injury was caused by the limb that was on the ground that tripped him. In our statement we allude to alleged injuries. The testimony of Smith, the injured party, is as stated by appellant, and we so state. Appellant criticizes our reference to the case of West Lumber Co. v. Morris & Barnes (Tex. Civ. App.) 257 S. W. 592, calling our attention to the fact that Judge Walker, associate justice 'of this court, dissented, and that Judge Walker was not present when the original opinion herein was handed down. We did not deem it necessary to make any mention of the matters complained of by appellant, but, if it should be done, then we say that Judge Walker did dissent from the views announced by the majority of the court in said case, and also further say that, because of prolonged illness, he was not present when the original opinion herein was handed down. The motion for rehearing is overruled.
