On Rehearing.
The record in this case is different from that in the companion ease of Dodgion v. Radford Grocery Company, No. 963. We have jurisdiction of this cause, and our original opinion has been confirmed by the action of our Supreme Court in refusing a writ of error in the case of Starr v. Johnson (Tex. Civ. App.) 44 S.W.(2d) 429. In a memorandum opinion the Supreme Court has expressly approved the holding of the Dallas Court in that case. 47 S.W.(2d) 608.
The original opinion failed to mention the question of attorneys’ fees for the garnishee. Since our judgment discharges it on its answer, it is entitled to a reasonable fee, which we set at $50. We have the authority to set this fee without a retrial below. Southland Life Ins. Co. v. Norton (Tex. Com. App.) 5 S.W.(2d) 767.
Appellee’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
