On Rehearing.
[En Banc. April 30, 1951.]
Per Curiam.
Upon a rehearing, a majority of the court adheres to the principles of law as announced in the Departmental opinion.
However, a further examination of the record convinces us that there is a serious question of fact as to whether or not the walk upon which respondent wife slipped and fell was a private passageway leased exclusively to respondents, or whether it was used in common by all of the tenants.
This particular issue of fact was not presented to the jury. No exception was taken by appellants for failure to present such issue of fact, and the instructions given by the court therefore became the law of the case.
No motion for a new trial was made, and that issue is not before us. The judgment of the trial court will therefore be affirmed.
