ON PETITION TO REHEAR
McAmis, P.J.
Patrick C. Garner has filed an earnest Petition to Rehear again relying on the ambiguity discussed in our original opinion and insisting that under his prayer for *180general relief lie is entitled to rely upon fraud, accident or mistake.
The purpose of a pleading is to define the issues to be tried and to apprise the adverse party of the charges made against him. There is nothing in the pleadings to suggest to defendant that it was being charged with fraud or that an accident or mistake was made in delineating the coverage afforded by the contract. The prayer for general relief can not be said to constitute a basis for charging fraud, accident or mistake. We fully set forth our view as to the alleged ambiguity in the original opinion. Nothing new has been brought to our attention by the petition to rehear.
We gave the case our most careful consideration upon the original hearing and after further consideration are satisfied the correct result was reached.
The Petition must be denied at the cost of petitioner.
Cooper and Parrott, JJ., concur.
