On Petition for Rehearing
On petition for rehearing appellants for the first time ask this court to consider the complaint as not limited to one for wrongful death but as including a cause of action for “negligence, damages and malpractice.” See, generally, Wills, “Wrongful Death and Personal Injuries — Joinder of Causes of Action and Counterclaim,” 16 Ohio St.L.J. 501. Our judgment will be modified so as to affirm only the dismissal of the complaint insofar as it sets forth a claim for death by wrongful act under § 16-1201, D.C. Code 1951. The case will be remanded to the District Court for such further proceedings as may be found by that Court to be consistent with our judgment as thus modified. The petition for rehearing will be denied.
It is so ordered.
