*585On Petition for Rehearing.
Ewbank, C. J.
Appellant insists that the decision of the Appellate Court on a former appeal (70 Ind. App. 336) is not “the law of the case”, and as-signs as' a reason the alleged impossibility for the appellant, after having obtained a reversal of the first judgment by its appeal to the Appellate Court, to bring the opinion of that court before the Supreme Court for review. But it has been decided that an appellant dissatisfied with the declaration of the law by the Appellate Court in reversing a judgment may petition for the modification of its opinion, and, upon the overruling of such petition, may then petition the Supreme Court to transfer the cause. United States Cement Co. v. Cooper (1909), 172 Ind. 599, 602, 88 N. E. 69; Ewbank’s Manual (2d ed.) §247a.
