On Application for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
Applicant correctly urges that we were-in error in stating: “That court [in Morton v. American Employers Insurance Co., 104 So.2d 189 (La.App. 2nd Cir. 1958)] then erroneously held the principal liable-for the physical tort of his agent * * *.”
The Morton case was used for a comparison of language and not for its holding. While finding a non-servant agent free from negligence and his principal therefore absolved from liability, the court, used language indicating that it would' have fixed personal liability upon the principal had the non-servant agent been negligent.
Rehearing refused.
