On Motion for Rehearing.
The spirit and temper shown by the attorney who prepared this motion is unworthy of the great profession of the law, which at all times teaches a due respect on the part of members of the bar for the legally constituted courts of state and nation. The motion evinces a spirit of intemperance and impatience under failure to impress certain views upon a judicial tribunal and such a lack of restraint and respect as to merit extreme punishment, and the leniency of this' court will not form a precedent, should such conduct ever occur again by this offender against the amenities which should characterize the practice of attorneys, or any one else. This court invites just and proper criticism from attorneys practicing before it, who may feel aggrieved by its decisions, but it demands and will have the courteous conduct which should obtain, and which a large majority of the bar give freely and without compulsion to the courts. A repetition of such uncalled for and discourteous language as is contained in this motion will call for and receive the extreme punishment authorized by law. No such document is fit to find a place among the records of a court, and the motion for rehearing will be stricken from the files; the only regret being that a luckless client should receive punishment due an offense for which he is not responsible. Batson v. Faulk, 109 Tex. 480, 211 S. W. 972.
