On Petition for Rehearing.
TEIGEN, Judge.
The appellant has petitioned for a rehearing upon several grounds. All of them have been fully discussed and disposed of in the original opinion with one exception. The appellant points out that we failed to pass upon its assignment of error No. 5, in which it urges that the trial court in its order granting judgment notwithstanding the verdict also denied the motion for a new trial. This point was argued, considered and decided in the first appeal of this case reported in 122 N.W.2d 140. In that case we found the trial judge had not passed upon the motion for new trial. We reversed the judgment notwithstanding the verdict and ordered judgment entered consistent with the verdict, subject however to the right of Prince to proceed promptly to press for a ruling on his motion for a new trial. For this reason this matter was res judicata on this appeal. The petition is denied.
MORRIS, C. J., and BURKE and ERICKSTAD, JJ., concur.
STRUTZ, J., did not participate.
