On Motion For Rehearing.
In our original opinion, as well as upon the consideration of the motion for rehearing, we considered the judgment of the trial court as complained of as a fundamental error, go also again, in passing upon and overruling the motion for a rehearing. After the elimination of the portions of the petition on special exceptions not assigned as error, we could find no cause of action stated therein upon which a trial could be had based upon allegations for damages. We thought the opinion made that plain enough, but to make it so plain as not to be overlooked, we now here again state that we considered the ruling of the trial court from every standpoint searching for a fundamental error. There was no cause of action stated left in the petition after the elimination of all the elements of damage that appellant claimed that he was entitled to recover upon, except as stated in the opinion in regard to the item of $32 claimed for actual damages, because the exceptions and ruling of the court thereupon eliminated every item including the $1,500 or any other sum sued for, which left the amount of actual damages below the jurisdiction of the court. Hence, having fully considered the case, and finding nothing new presented in the motion for rehearing, it was overruled.
