On Motion fqr Rehearing.
[2] The appellee, Ferguson, has filed a motion for a rehearing, insisting that this ease should be remanded instead of judgment being rendered against him in favor of the appellant. We are of the opinjon the motion should be granted. An- inspection .of the judgment in the court below shows that it denied a recovery to the First State Bank of Harleton against either Taylor or Ferguson, the former being the plaintiff and the latter defendants in the original suit. The cross-action of Taylor & Co. against Ferguson was dismissed without prejudice to the right of Taylor & Co. to institute a new suit for the recovery of the damages claimed. That ruling, in effect, sustained the exceptions interposed by Ferguson, to the cross-bill of the appellant Taylor & Co. The appeal of Taylor & Co. is therefore virtually an appeal from the order dismissing their suit. The proper judgment to be rendered in this court is one reversing and remanding the case for a trial of the issue raised by the pleading of Taylor.
The motion therefore will be granted, and the cause remanded for another trial.
