ON PETITION TO REHEAR
CHATTIN, Justice.
Petitioners have filed an earnest petition to rehear. They insist we were in error in reversing the Court of Appeals and affirming the judgment of the trial court in holding that petitioners’ counts sounding in negligence, strict liability and tortious misrepresentation were barred by the statute of limitations; and that we further erred in upholding the dismissal of the warranty counts by the two lower courts.
In support of the petition, able Counsel make essentially the same argument set forth in their original brief. In other words, it is a reargument of matters which we considered and determined in our original opinion. The petition reargues matters which Counsel insist were improperly decided.
“The office of a petition to rehear is to call the attention of the court to matters overlooked, not those things which the counsel supposes were improperly decided after full consideration.” West v. Carr, 212 Tenn. 367, 370 S.W.2d 469 (1963).
The petition is denied at petitioners’ cost.
DYER, C. J., McCANLESS, J, and LEECH, Special Justice, concur.
FONES, J., dissenting.
