On Petition for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
The petition for a rehearing lays considerable stress on the fact that we stated in our original opinion that this action was commenced on April 5, 1955, whereas the correct date was April 5, 1956. Consequently, this action was commenced after the effective date of the amendment to Section 2-403, Ind. Stat.Ann. (Burns’, 1946 Replacement), and not before, as was stated in the opinion.
This misstatement as to dates does not affect the result reached herein. The cause of action arose before the effective date of the amendment. The prior statute is applicable unless the amendment can be given a retroactive operation. *175Southern Indiana Ry. Co. v. Peyton, 157 Ind. 690, 61 N.E. 722. We have decided that the amendment under consideration cannot be retroactively applied to a cause of action which accrued prior to the effective date of the amendment.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
