On Motion for Rehearing of Motion to Certify.
Heretofore, we overruled the motion of appellees, in which they insist that we should certify this cause to the Supreme Court because of a conflict in our opinion on the merits and that of the Dallas Court of Civil Appeals, in a somewhat similar suit.
It now appears that, after we entered such judgment and order, appellees — as they had the right to do and privilege of doing— presented a motion before the Supreme Court of Texas, asking leave of that court to be permitted to file a petition for a writ of mandamus, requiring this court to certify the cause.
This was the proper step to take, and, if the conflict could be made to appear and merit were shown, there is no doubt but that the Supreme Court would have granted leave to file the petition; but we have been advised that the Supreme Court, on October Sth, last, made the following order on such motion: “Relators seek to have the Court of Civil Appeals of Fort Worth certify to the Supreme Court certain questions decided in Trico Oil Co. v. Pelton, 114 S.W.2d 1209, decided by that court, which they maintain are in conflict with authorities cited in the petition accompanying the motion. Motion overruled.”
Accordingly, we overrule the motion for rehearing.
