ON MOTION EOB REHEARING.
In his motion for a rehearing counsel for Casteel complains that from the language of the court in the opinion it might be presumed that Casteel was wanting in “truth, fairness, and honesty” with respect to the money in controversy. We think not. In the opinion .it was inadvertently stated that he answered the writ of garnishment served upon him at the suit of Fleming, April 19, 1897, “denying liability.” There also appears in the record what purposes to be an alias writ issued April 12, 1897, which goes to show that a writ issued prior to that time, but no such writ is contained in the record. Casteel received the money April 8, 1897. His answer is not set out; só it may be true as stated by counsel that Casteel had not received the money when he answered the first writ, and that on controversion of this answer he answered further on April 9th, after he received the money, all the facts with regard thereto. There is no disposition on the part of the court to put Casteel in an improper attitude with respect to the fund, and the correction is made that the record does not support the statement that he “answered denying any liability to Pringle.” There is nothing in the record to impeach Casteel’s impartiality as a stakeholder.

Overruled.

Writ of error refused.
