On Motion for Rehearing
 Appellants, in their motion for rehearing, request permission to submit an additional point complaining of the action of the trial court in failing to submit the question of limitation to the jury. If this point had been' properly presented, no error would be shown. Appellants plead limitation but failed to request the court to submit an issue thereon to the jury. This was an affirmative defense and it was incumbent upon appellants to request the submission thereof to the jury and failing to do so, the issue was waived. Wichita Falls & Oklahoma Ry. Co. et al. v. Pepper, 134 Tex. 360, 135 S.W.2d 79; Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 279.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
