On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant, in its motion for rehearing, points out an error in the computation of the amount of the judgment awarded by the trial court. We find that the amount of the judgment should be $3,044, rather than $3,234.13 as awarded by the trial court. The judgment of the trial court will, accordingly,'be reformed so as to allow ap-pellee Mrs. G. H. Barker a recovery of $3,044 with interest thereon from December 14, 1939, until paid at the rate of six per cent per annum. The judgment of the trial court, as thus modified and reformed, will be affirmed.
Costs áre adjudged against the appellant. The error in computing the amount of the judgment was probably due to an inadvertence and would have undoubtedly been corrected, had the matter been called to the attention of the trial court. Here the question of the proper amount of the judgment is raised for the first time by motion for rehearing in this Court. Under these circumstances, costs are properly taxed against appellant. Canales v. Clopton, Tex.Civ.App., 145 S.W.2d 933.
All matters raised by appellant’s motion for rehearing having been duly considered, said motion will be granted to the extent above indicated. In all other respects the same will be overruled.
