On Motion for Rehearing.
We have carefully considered the motion for rehearing and replies filed by the several parties.
[19] The contention of appellant is that the judgment against appellant and the warrantor should not have been in favor of Mrs. Emma Johnson for more than $172.75. The contention, as shown, of appellant was that she paid $1,000 for 410 acres, or the sum of $2.44 per acre therefor, and the court awarded judgment for title and possession of only 70.8 acres of land in controversy, which, at $2.44 per acre for the 70.8 acres, would amount to only $172.75, for whicli there should have been recovery. However, no one has appealed in this case except W. J. Daugherty, and no other questions the right of Mrs. Johnson to recover upon the warranty the sum of $5,939, nor have T. S. Henderson, E. D. Tompkins, E. M. Morrow, and Joe G. Jester appealed from the judgment in favor of Mrs. Johnson. The court, in passing upon the question of the amount of recovery,.had before it all the testimony, agreement of attorneys, and statements made in his presence, so, in fixing the amount of the judgment and recovery, it is presumed, as there is no statement of facts, that the court had before it the evidence sufficient to support the judgment, and, as stated in the opinion, the only correction we make in that judgment is that there shall be but one recovery, as found by the court, in the sum of $5,939 and interest against appellant in favor of T. S. Henderson and E. D. Tompkins upon the one recovery upon the same warranty, the payment of which one judgment shall satisfy both judgments.
As there was no appeal from the judgment of $275 in favor of Rebecca M. Manning against Mrs. Emma Johnson, our judgment is therefore reformed, so as to eliminate that part of the judgment reducing the amount recovered by Mrs. Manning, and inserting in lieu thereof a provision to the effect that as said judgment has not been appealed from it will not be disturbed, but left standing as rendered by the trial court.
The motion of appellant for rehearing is overruled. The molion of Mrs. Manning for reformation and' correction of judgment is granted.
