On Rehearing.
Appellant’s motion to correct the statement of facts in relation to the conditions of the -warranty of occupancy is overruled. We have no power to correct a statement of facts, properly certified to us from the lower court. On that proposition this court said in Janes v. Gulf Production Co., 15 S.W.(2d) 1102, 1104, citing Commission of Appeals opinion in Gerneth v. Lmbr. Co., 300 S. W. 17: “Only the lower court has jurisdiction to correct such a mistake.” An order by the lower court correcting the statement of facts should be made before the case is submitted in the appellate court. However, appellant is not prejudiced by this order, as the judgment of the lower court is reversed on all issues and appellant can show the true recitals of all warranties and other conditions of the policy upon another trial. Appellant’s motion for rehearing is also overruled. Appellee’s motion to withdraw his second motion for rehearing, filed on March 10th, is granted.
