MEMORANDUM OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
Appellant in its motion for new trial contends that we did not consider and weigh all the evidence in the case as to whether the verdict is so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be manifestly unjust (In re King’s Estate, 150 Tex. 662, 244 S.W.2d 660) and particularly urges this contention with reference to its Point No. 11. We overrule this contention. We thought we made our view clear in this respect in our original opinion handed down on August 1, 1968. However, since appellant has filed its mo*41tion for rehearing we have considered the entire record on the whole under all the surrounding facts and circumstances and we are of the view that the answer of the jury to Special Issue No. 7 is not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be manifestly unjust, and it is overruled. Under the doctrine of the Supreme Court, In re King’s Estate, supra, and subsequent opinion thereto, we think we should say that in our original opinion we thought it was our duty to consider the evidence in detail under all the surrounding facts and circumstances to determine whether or not the answers of the jury are sustained by the evidence, and particularly whether or not the answer of the jury to Issue No. 7 was against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence and manifestly unjust, and that we did, and overruled Point No. 11, as well as each of the other points.
Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing is overruled.
