ON REHEARING
On rehearing, counsel for plaintiff requests clarification of the opinion. It is not clear to counsel whether the opinion of this court now requires the Court of Civil Appeals to remand the cause to the trial court. We did not intend to place that requirement on the Court of Civil Appeals.
We held that the Court of Civil Appeals erred in reversing the trial court for refus • ing to give the affirmative charge for defendant.
We held also, that the Court of Civil Appeals erred in rendering judgment for defendant instead of remanding the cause to the trial court. Our latter holding, however, applies only to the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals on original deliverance and does not apply to the judgment which the Court of Civil Appeals will render after the cause has been remanded by this court to the Court of Civil Appeals.
The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals is reversed and the cause is remanded to the Court of Civil Appeals for further consideration in accord with this opinion.
Opinion extended.
Application for rehearing overruled.
HEFLIN, C. J., and MERRILL, HAR-WOOD, BLOODWORTH, MADDOX, McCALL and SOMERVILLE, JJ., concur.
