On Second Motion for Kehearing.
In a second motion for rehearing and written argument in support of same, appellants urgently insist that the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence shows that George Johnson did not arrive in Austin until 3:30 p. m., on January 9th, and could not, therefore, have been present that morning and made any agreement with Y. O. Weed as to the funeral expenses. Even if this be conceded, as stated in our original opinion, his approval, subsequent to the burial of his father, of the funeral arrangements previously made by Effie Whitehand and W. S. Johnson, Jr., for and on behalf of all the children, amounted to a clear ratification on his part of the expenses incurred for their use and benefit. And whether George Johnson was present in person or .not on the morning of January 9th, under the undisputed facts and circumstances we think he became jointly liable with the others for the debt incurred. The motion is therefore overruled.
Overruled.
