On Rehearing.
As noted in our opinion on original hearing, plaintiff has never questioned the correctness of the peremptory instruction to the jury by the trial judge to return a verdict in favor of defendants, the Magnolia Petroleum Company, the Corsicana Petroleum Company, and Bt. Worth & Denver City Railway Company, and no complaint has been made by him, either in the trial court nor in this court, of the judgment in favor of those defendants based on a verdict in their favor in obedience to the instruction.
In our original opinion it was our intention to leave that part of the judgment undisturbed and to reverse only that part of the judgment rendered in fayor of plaintiff against appellant, the Houston & Texas Central Railway Company, and to remand the case for another trial as between plaintiff and that defendant only; and the judgment so rendered by us and the opinion filed will therefore be amended and reformed so as to give effect to that intention.
