On Petition for Rehearing
Carson, J.
We have considered the petition for rehearing filed in the above case. It is our opinion that nothing is presented in the petition which necessitates a change of the opinion of this court.
In fairness to counsel, however, we feel we should comment on paragraphs 3, 5 and 6 of the petition for rehearing.
Our opinion indicated what we considered the presentation of specification number 3 in the appellant’s motion for new trial inadequate. Upon re-examination of the brief it appears that the appellant did present his argument on pages 83 and 84 sufficiently to comply with the Supreme Court rules. We *452do not feel, however, that this argument presents any reason for a change of the result which we previously reached.
Appellant points out that specification number 18 of the motion for new trial is set out at page 97 of appellant’s brief and should not have been included in the disposition of specification 19. We conclude that the argument presented in support of specification 18 does not convince us that the error if any was harmful. In our opinion the case was fully and fairly tried and a proper result was reached by the jury.
Appellant points out that the substance of the will in support of the argument set out under specification 15 is included in another portion of the appellant’s brief at pages 52 and 53. The presentation of the contents of this exhibit from that portion of the brief containing the argument and citation of authorities required the court to refer to a separate section of the brief. We do not recognize this as the best practice, but in giving full consideration to the appellant’s petition for rehearing and the separate portions of the brief referred to such petition we conclude that the court did not commit error in admitting the will into evidence and that the rights of the appellant were not prejudiced thereby. The petition for rehearing is denied.
Prime, C. J., Faulconer, J. and Wickens, J., concur.
