On Motion to Correct a Finding Made, Make Other Findings, and for a Rehearing.
In the opinion is this statement: “The spout of the can came in contact with and was caught by the. cogs on the line shaft, as a result appellee’s feet were caused to slip forward on the box he was standing on, and as he fell or leaned east over the other box, as a consequence of his feet slipping, his hand was caught and crushed by the cogs.” So far as the statement is to the effect that appellee was caused to slip on the conveyer because the spout of the oil can was caught by the cogs it is erroneous. The testimony showed, instead, that the spout was caught by the cogs because appellee slipped on the conveyer.
Of findings requested we make the following: (1) That on his application therefor the district court of Taylor county on April 6, 1911, rendered a judgment removing appel-lee’s disabilities as a minor. (2) That ap-pellee in the fall of, 1908 and spring of 1909 worked at a packer in a gin, and in the spring of 1910 worked in the linter room of a gin, where there was machinery. (3) That appellee knew if his feet should slip into the conveyer he was standing on at the time he had his hand crushed, they would be injured by an iron shaft which revolved therein.
The correction as specified of a finding made when the record was first before us, and the additional findings now made do not, we think, furnish a reason for setting aside the judgment rendered here. Therefore, the motion for a rehearing is overruled.
