On Motion For Rehearing: After the foregoing opinion was filed, the defendant moved for rehearing.
Duncan, J. The motion alleges among other grounds that the presumption that the trial court deducted the amount of the Mackey settlement in the sum of $1,000 from the damages before returning the verdict was unwarranted. The motion is accompanied by a copy of a letter from plaintiff’s counsel to the clerk with respect to the computation of the judgment which indicates that this presumption was contrary to the expectation of the plaintiff.
Since the record transferring the defendant’s exceptions to this court contains no affirmative evidence as to whether the Mackey settlement was or was not so deducted before verdict, the issue is remanded to the superior court for determination. In all other respects the former result is affirmed.

Remanded.

All concurred.
