On Appellee’s Motion for Rehearing.
On the 22nd day of June, 1939, upon opinion filed that day, this court reversed the trial court judgment in this cause as between the appellant, W. L. Macatee & Sons, Inc., and the appellee, H. C. Blouse, and rendered judgment that the appellant be awarded a materialman’s lien against certain property of H. C. House in the full amount of its claim, and directed that the trial court judgment, in all other respects, remain undisturbed.
Appellee House duly filed his motion for rehearing attacking that opinion and judgment. Among other things, he contends there was sufficient evidence, which was not passed on by the trial court because no lien at all was awarded, which shows that a substantial part of the material, for which a lien was sought, had been removed from the job through no fault of the appellee House.
Adhering to our former opinion in all other respects, we have reached the conclusion that the issue of removed material should be tried out. Hence we grant appellee House’s, motion for rehearing, set aside our former judgment, and now reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the cause with instructions to the trial court to hear evidence only on the issue of “removed material”, and to render judgment for the plaintiff fixing its lien as prayed for in the amount claimed, less the amount which should be deducted under evidence which may be adduced on the issue indicated.
Appellee’s motion for rehearing granted, former judgment set aside, and cause reversed and remanded with instructions.
