On Motion for Rehearing.
[5] Appellant insists that the court erred in holding that articles 4711, 4728, and 4734, Revised Statutes of 1911, are unconstitutional. This contention would be correct but for the fact that we did not hold any such thing. The judgment below was rendered in favor of appellee, and against the life insurance company, for .$480 interest which had been paid by him on the notes sought to be canceled. In framing the judgment in this court, this item was overlooked. After reviewing the pleadings and the motions, we have concluded that, instead of remanding the cause, the judgment of the lower court should be rendered. Under article 1626. Vernon’s Sayles’ Civil Statutes, it is ordered and decreed that appellee Smyer have judgment canceling the note and deed of trust and removing the cloud from the title to the land described in the deed of trust; that he recover of the Prudential Dife Insurance Company of Texas, the sum of $480, with interest at 6 per cent, thereon from the time said amount was paid by him. It is further ordered that Nat M. Washer recover of the insurance company the full amount of the note indorsed to him, and that he take nothing as against the appellee Smyer, and that, except the $480, and interest above named, Smyer take nothing against the appellant insurance company.
The opinion heretofore rendered and the judgment heretofore entered will be modified and reformed in accordance herewith.
