On Rehearing.
Appellee requests that this cause be certified to the Supreme Court, because our opinion is in conflict with those of other Courts of Civil Appeals heretofore rendered, in that we hold that it is not necessary to file bills of exceptions to the giving of special charges. The opinion is not subject to the criticism. The only objection urged here by appellee to a consideration of appellant’s assignments was that there was “no exception taken by appellant to the peremptory instruction given by the court.” We hold that the record discloses an exception taken.
Upon further consideration of the cause, we are of the opinion that there is another error apparent of record, which must reverse the cause.
[3] The evidence in the record is sufficient to sustain all the allegations in the petition, and there is no evidence to the contrary. Therefore, there is no evidence upon which to base a judgment for appellee. Harper v. Dodd, 30 Tex. Civ. App. 287, 70 S. W. 223. The instruction should have been for appellant, instead of appellee, under the facts of this record.
The motion for rehearing is therefore overruled.
