ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
BELCHER, Judge.
Appellant, in his motion for rehearing, complains of the refusal of the court to permit him to interrogate Mrs. Bryan on cross-examination about her previous trouble with the Mc-Farlanes over property boundary lines and an injunction suit pertaining thereto in order to show the motive and prejudice of the witness.
The record reveals that the defense offered the following testimony of Mrs. Bryan: “We had been having trouble about the title to our property, about the fences around it and about the signs for a long time. We didn’t owe him (McFarlane) money, he bought a note, a delinquent note. He bought the note hoping to foreclose, he wouldn’t accept the money.”
She further said that she had testified at a hearing about the fence on this property, but had not been cited for violating an injunction concerning it. Her testimony further shows that she had appeared at other previous trials in which the Bryans and the McFarlanes were involved.
*347The above evidence reveals the previous relationship between the parties as to the matters herein complained of, thus no error is here shown.
We have considered the other contentions of appellant and are of the opinion that they do not show error.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the court.
