On Motion for Rehearing.
MR. JUSTICE HOLLOWAY
delivered the opinion of the court.
A motion for rehearing has been submitted, but the same is overruled. Upon further consideration, however, we think there is not any room for doubt that in enacting sections 5251 and 5252, Revised Codes, the legislature did not intend to create any new right of action, but merely recognized a right of action existing at common law, and sought to make that right available, notwithstanding the negligence of a fellow-servant.
Mr. Chief Justice Brantly and Mr. Justice Smith concur.
