ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
Respondents, on Motion for Rehearing or for Transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court, have essentially reasserted the same contentions originally made in their argument and brief in support of the judgment entered by the trial court and have not, with a single exception, called attention to any matter of fact or law overlooked. The exception relates to the amount of judgment recoverable by appellants on the first count of the petition.
The verdict returned by the jury as to Count I awarded appellants actual damages of $3,000.00. In fact, by the concession of appellants at trial and by the damage instructions given to the jury, appellants were limited in their recovery of actual damages on Count I to $100.00. Respondents correctly assert that if judgment n.o.v. in their favor is reversed and judgment on the verdict is to be entered, the award should be remitted to $100.00.
The opinion previously delivered is modified in that the trial court is directed to enter judgment on the jury verdict as to Count I remitting the amount of actual damages to $100.00. In all other respects, the motion of respondents for rehearing is overruled and the motion for transfer is denied.
