On Motion for Rehearing.
In opinion on original hearing, it was stated that the trial judge found that plaintiff had failed to discharge the burden of showing that the two executions, of date November, 19, 1897, and the second, of date ' October 7, 1907, were placed in the hands of the sheriff or constable for service. The findings of the trial judge were in writing and constitute a part of the record here, from which it appears that there was such a finding with respect to the execution dated October 7, 1907, but not of the one dated November 19, 1897. However, the finding with respect to the execution dated October 7, 1907, would of itself support the judgment without the aid of a similar finding with respect to the other execution, since the failure to place that execution in the hands of the sheriff would render the judgment dormant, and therefore the abstract of judgment filed created no lien upon the property in controversy. Furthermore, as pointed out in the opinion on original hearing, the evidence would have supported the same finding with respect to the execution dated November 19, 1897.
With this correction of our original opinion, the motion for rehearing is overruled.
