On Motion for Rehearing.
It is insisted by appellant that his petition did embody allegations to the effect that Dr. Trigg knew his statement with respect to plaintiff’s injury was untrue and that same was made for the purpose of inducing plaintiff to settle his claim for a very small sum, and that plaintiff was induced thereby to settle his claim for $35; and also a further allegation to the effect that the settlement was made upon the mistaken belief of himself and defendant’s “agents, servants and employees” that the injury “was of a minor nature and temporary.”
However, even if plaintiff’s pleadings were sufficient to present the issues of fraud and mutual mistake, we adhere to the conclusions reached upon original hearing that the judgment should be affirmed, upon the facts therein recited. .
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
