On Motion for Rehearing.
The objection was to the introduction of the account sales as an entirety. A number of reasons were advanced why it was not admissible, among them that it contained secondary evidence in the reproduction of the weights of the hogs, but there was no request to exclude any particular portion of the instrument on this account. We think the case falls within the rule of the authorities cited in the original opinion. This rule works both ways in the protection of the trial court. If an instrument containing admissible and inadmissible evidence is offered and objected to as a whole, there is no reversible error, whether the instrument be admitted or rejected. See M., K & T. Ry. Co. v. Washburn (Tex. Civ. App.) 184 S. W. 582 (6, 7).
The motion is overruled.
