On Petition for Rehearing
Kelley, J.
Appellant’s petition for a rehearing urges that since we did not pass upon specified errors as to each of the referred to instructions, we failed to discharge our duty of discussing all alleged errors properly presented, and that, therefore, we contravened a ruling precedent of the Supreme Court.
We do not so regard the matter. Appellant apparently did not grasp the full import of our opinion. We think it clear that appellant did not allege or prove a cause of action against Cedric T. Wise, the only remaining appellee, under and according to the principles of law pertaining and applicable to the establishment of liability of public school officials, teachers, and agents. The only reviewable assignment of error by appellant was the overruling of his motion for a new trial and it contained no specification that the verdict was contrary to law. Thus we were under no duty to examine the evidence to determine whether appellant was denied relief to which the evidence showed him to be entitled.
*606However, to assure that there had not been a failure of justice, we did review the whole record, as stated in our opinion. Under the circumstances, there appeared no need or requirement for a discussion of the instructions, since any error with reference thereto was harmless.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
