On Motion for Rehearing,
The motion for an instructed verdict by appellant is found on page 36 of the transcript-, and is shown to have been “Special charge No. 1, presented by the defendant city of Fort Worth,” and marked “Refused, to which the defendant excepts. Bruce Young, Judge.” There is a special charge for peremptory instruction appearing on page 40; not signed by the judge, or marked “Refused” by him, but the one which the court considered is on page 36.
We think the evidence in this case fail'» to show that notice was ever served on the city commissioners, and that the burden of proof of this fact was on the plaintiff. Plaintiff in .her petition recognized that the burden was on her to plead and prove notice of the injuries alleged to have been received, for she pleaded that such notice had been given. Authorities ' cited in City óf *298Fort Worth v. Shero, 16 Tex. Civ. App. 487, 41 S. W. 704.
• The motion for rehearing and the motion for additional'findings of fact are overruled.
