ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
*26Reuben Lenske, Portland, for the petition.
PER CURIAM.
Claimants’ petition for rehearing attacks that part of onr opinion herein which can be read to mean that claimants had not filed a pleading or other showing of merit for their claim. The judgment roll filed with the appeal was barren of the claim filed or documents to support the claim.
In order to clarify the matter, we have had the record augmented to show the documents submitted to the receiver and which, we will assume, were available to the trial judge when he denied the claim. Accordingly, the opinion filed is modified to acknowledge that a pleading and some evidence of the merit of the claim, or the lack thereof, was before the trial court when the court denied the claim. Our basis of decision in this case, however, does not require that we more fully examine the question of the extent to which merit must be demonstrated to a trial judge by pleading or other showing before he should set aside a judgment permitted as by ORS 18.160.
"We adhere to the original opinion that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion when he failed to excuse the grossly negligent failure of these claimants to appear in the trial court.
Rehearing denied.
