On Motion for Rehearing.
[4] We have again reviewed the record in this case, and feel unable to bring ourselves to any different conclusion from that announced in our original opinion. In overruling the motion for rehearing, however, we wish to observe that, -while it is true that the language quoted in the statement under appellant’s first specification of error in the motion for rehearing is found in the fourth assignment of error in appellant’s original brief, yet it will be seen by a further consideration of the original brief that the proposition following this assignment does not raise the question of the insufficiency of the evidence. It presents an altogether different question, the proposition thus limiting the assignment.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
On Motion to Certify.
[5,6] As we construe the ease as presented, the questions appellant seeks to have us certify to the Supreme Court arise upon the undisputed facts exhibited by the record. In such eases it has been the uniform practice of this court to refuse to certify where a writ of error lies to the Supreme Court, inasmuch as a hearing by the Supreme Court on writ of error enables that court to consider the entire record unrestricted by this court’s findings as presented in a certificate. If the case is one properly cognizable by the county court, and hence one in which our judgment is final, a certificate to the Supreme Court does not lie. See Cole v. State (Sup.) 170 S. W. 1036; First State Bank of Archer City v. Power (Sup.) 163 S. W. 581; T. & P. Ry. Co. v. Hemphill, 125 S. W. 340; and No. 6134, J. H. Bray v. C. G. & S. F. Ry. Co., by this court without opinion.
WTe therefore conclude that the motion to certify should be overruled on the ground that, if the case is one over which the Supreme Court has jurisdiction on writ of error, there is no necessity therefor, or, if it is one in which our judgment is final, the Supreme Court is without jurisdiction.
