On Rehearing.
Appellant has filed a motion, urging that it is our duty to render judgment for it rather than to remand the cause. The statement supporting this contention quotes liberally from the statement of facts. In this motion, apparently, appellant overlooks the fact that we are .not at liberty to consult the statement of facts to ascertain what the evidence shows. We reversed the case for the reason, and only for the reason, that the transcript, in our opinion, disclosed fundamental error in the proceedings resulting in. the judgment below. Had recourse to the statement of facts been necessary to ascertain this fact, then this court would have been under necessity of affirming the judgment, since we held that there was no assignment of error so presented as to authorize our consideration of it.
Under these circumstances,, we fail to see any merit in the motion for rehearing, and same is accordingly overruled.
