On Application for Rehearing of Plaintiff-Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
In his application for rehearing, plaintiff-appellee contends inter alia that the effect of our original decree herein is to reduce the award of attorney’s fees assessed against Reserve to one-half of the amount awarded by the trial court, even though at least as regards attorneys’ fees plaintiff-appellee had protected his rights by filing an answer to the appeal which had requested an increase of $650 in the attorney’s fees awarded.
Since plaintiff-appellee has filed an answer to the appeal permitting such increase in the attorney’s fees as assessed against Reserve individually, in specifically approving the trial court’s total award it was our intention to hold Reserve liable for this total amount awarded.
For the foregoing reasons, our original decree is clarified and amended so as to provide additionally that the defendant-appellant Reserve Insurance Company is held liable for the attorney’s fees awarded in the amount of $850, together with legal interest thereon from date of judicial demand.
The application for rehearing by plaintiff-appellee is refused.
