APPLICATION FOR REHEARING.
Decided April 3, 1947.
OPINION
By THE COURT:
Submitted on application for rehearing by the plaintiff-appellant. We have carefully examined the appellant’s brief and are still of the opinion that the pleadings and the evidence raise the following issues:
(1) Did the defendant cause the gas to be turned on at the street valve and allow the gas to flow into the damaged building?
(2) If it did so, was it negligent in so doing in any of the particulars alleged in the petition.
(3) Was the plaintiff’s assignor guilty of any negligence that contributed as a proximate cause of the injuries complained of?
By no stretch of imagination can we see where any of the errors assigned reach the issue we have noted as No. 1 above. It is contended, however, that the two issue rule has been modified by the case of Kushlan v P. & O. Coach Lines, 9 Abs 78. It will be noted that in this case the Court found errors which pertained to the other issue and which were so faulty and erroneous as to substantially affect the rights of the plaintiff. We have found no such error intervening in this case. The application is denied.
WISEMAN, PJ, MILLER and HORNBECK, JJ, concur.
