ON MOTION EOR REHEARING.
It is earnestly insisted in this motion that the value of the use and occupation of the land in controversy exceeded the value of the improvements made by the appellees. But the answer to this is that no such issue was submitted to the jury, and that appellant has not submitted any assignment of error complaining of the court’s refusal to give a charge submitting it.
Besides, in further support of the judgment heretofore rendered, we may add that appellant pleaded that the claim of the appellees for the value of services rendered in taking care of his mother was barred by limitation, which attitude leaves little room for doubt that the appellees would sustain an irreparable loss if appellant were allowed to use the statute of frauds to deprive them of the land earned by their services in caring for his mother.

Motion overruled.
