On Rehearing.
Both parties have filed motions for rehearing. In so far as appellee’s motion is concerned, we see no occasion to modify or recede from the views heretofore expressed. It is therefore overruled.
[13] In the original opinion, it was held that none of the errors assigned affected the finding of the jury upon the sixth issue that Mrs. Smith had received her share of the notes, accounts, and bills receivable. This was error. The burden rested upon X W. Smith to prove payment to Mrs. Smith of her share of the notes, etc., and the error in the' court’s charge upon the burden of proof affects this phase of the case. This error as to this issue would be immaterial if the evidence showed conclusively that she had been paid her share. Considering the record as a whole, it cannot be said that it so shows, for which reason we erred in affirming as to this issue in the case.
Appellant’s motion is therefore granted. The order affirming in part and remanding in part is set aside, and the cause is here now reversed and remanded generally for retrial.
