Oh Motion for Rehearing.
Counsel for the railroad company suggest that the opinion in this case is susceptible of the construction that this court holds that a ticket agent of a railroad company is required to give information concerning-the route to be taken by a passenger beyond the line of the road for t>hich he is agent. We think the opinion is not fairly susceptible of that interpretation, but, to avoid any misunderstanding, we will state that the authoritative scope of the opinion is confined to the conclusion that it is within the scope of the authority of one who sells tickets for a railroad company to give information to persons purchasing tickets con*366cerning the route to be traveled in using the ticket, and when an agent undertakes to give such information, his principal will be responsible if he should mislead the passenger to his injury. The question of liability of a railroad company for failure of its agent to give such information, on request, is not passed upon; it was not in the case.
Motion for rehearing is overruled.
