On Motion for Rehearing.
In discussing plaintiff’s evidence on the issue of contributory negligence as presented in special issue No. 7, we noted in the course of our opinion that “the jury had an opportunity to- observe the plaintiff during the trial.” In this statement we erred, as urged in the motion for rehearing. In so stating, we inadvertently overlooked the introductory statement relating to this witness’ testimony wherein it is said that the plaintiff “testified by deposition taken upon oral examination,” etc. We therefore correct the error referred to and withdraw the erroneous statement from our opinion. The inaccuracy noted, however, is not regarded as of such material importance as to require of us conclusions other than as given originally, and, after consideration of the motion for rehearing, we see no reason to disturb our original judgment.
The motion for rehearing is, accordingly, overruled.
