On Appellants’ Motion for Rehearing
PER CURIAM.
On December 5, 1951, we rendered our opinion in this case and as a part thereof we reformed the judgment against L. B. Scott so as to omit judgment against him for secondary liability for the amount adjudged against Hinson.
The appellee has filed its motion to amend its brief, which motion we have granted. Rule 431, T.R.C.P.
The motion was to
1. Amend the statement of Point II in the table of contents, in the statement of Appellee’s Reply Points on page 3-, and in the restatement of Point II on page 9, by striking the word “secondarily” so that Point II will read: “Appellant L. B. Scott is liable to the State for the sum of $400 plus interest.”
*7582.Amend the prayer on page 44 by adding the following: “or, in the alternative and in the event this Honorable Court finds C. W. Hinson not liable, appellee prays that this court enter judgment finding L. B. Scott liable for $400 plus the interest due on the sum from December 1, 1928 to date.”
These amendments are in accordance with the prayer of the State’s trial petition.
The motion for rehearing is also granted and our previous judgment is reformed and judgment is here rendered against L. B. Scott for $400 plus 6% interest from December 1, 1928; such judgment is left otherwise undisturbed.
Appellants may file a motion for rehearing as in other cases.
Motion granted.
Previous judgment reformed.
