On Motion for Rehearing.
In its motion for rehearing plaintiff in error, among other matters complained of, insists that we are in error in allowing interest on the claim from the date of the fire totally destroying the automobile, instead of allowing interest from 60 days from the date of notice of the loss. We have concluded that we were in error in so holding. Fire Association of Philadelphia v. Strayhorn (Tex. Com. App.) 211 S. W. 447; Delaware Underwriters v. Brock, 109 Tex. 425, 211 S. W. 779.
As stated in the original opinion, the policy of insurance having provided that the loss shall not become payable until 60 days after notice of loss, the terms of the policy would fix the liability of the insurance company, and interest would be computed on the claim of $325.48, beginning 60 days after November 1, 1925, that is, from January 1, 1926, instead of from October 24, 1925. The judgment should have been entered for $363.12, principal and interest, and thereafter interest as in the judgment.
The motion is granted, and the opinion is reformed as above, and the motion in all other respects is overruled.
