ON MOTION EOR REHEARING.
We are of opinion we were in error in holding that the petition of appellant was subject to the general demurrer.
While the objections held good against it in the main opinion are sound, it is nevetheless true that the facts were stated,- a wrong alleged and consequent injury, with prayer for general relief; and we are now convinced that what was said by us in regard to the failure to allege a specific measure of damage, or to pray for the value of the cattle, would properly apply to a special exception addressed to that portion of the petition rather than a general demurrer addressed to the entire pleading.
Where a general demurrer is erroneously sustained the fact that valid special exceptions were also urged will not justify an affirmance.
The motion is therefore granted, the judgment of the trial court reversed, and the cause remanded for trial on the merits.

Reversed and remanded.
