On Motion for Rehearing.
The appellee insists that since there was a statement of facts in the record sent to this court which did not contain any evidence of the value of the cotton in controversy, we erred in holding that the recital in the judgment of the value of the cotton established that fact. There is force in this insistence, and upon further consideration of the question we conclude that possibly we were mistaken in that conclusion.
[7] It is further contended, in effect, that we were in error in holding that it appeared that the case had been fully developed and in rendering judgment, for that reason, in favor of the appellants. A further careful review of the record upon appellee’s motion for a rehearing has led us to the conclusion that this contention should be sustained. This court has heretofore held that where it does not conclusively appear that the case was fully developed in the trial court, the appellate court, instead of rendering judgment, must remand the cause for another trial. Allen v. Anderson & Anderson, 96 S. W. 54. A re-examination of the statement of facts and record convinces us that it does not so appear in this case. The judgment of this court rendering judgment in favor of appellants will therefore be set aside, and the judgment of the county court will be reversed, and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
