On Motion for Rehearing.
[5] Appellant, in the written argument upon rehearing, in discussing its third assignment of error, says: “From the fact that the-court does not allude to this assignment in the opinion, it occurred to us that it may have been overlooked.” The assignment is addressed to the third paragraph of the main charge of the trial court in which the jury is instructed in effect that a railway company, in the management of its trains,, is required to employ skillful and competent agents, assailed upon the' ground that the submission was upon a matter not pleaded, and without evidence to support it. The original opinion, upon the issue of negligence, assumes that issue proven, ” upon the unassailed evidence in the case, no explanation whatever in the record of the unusual “bump” having been made by the defendant; and we regarded a discussion of the-third assignment unprofitable and unnecessary, and the error, if any, an immaterial one in view of the affirmance of the ease.
.The motion is overruled.
