On Motion tor Rehearing.
For no reason apparent from the record, the trial court found and decreed in the judgment that the sheriff’s deed, conveying the 210-acre tract to the purchasers at that sale, “should also be canceled and held for naught as to the 210%-acre tract of land, in so far as said deed affects the rights of the defendant Melissa A. Palm, as surety on the notes sued on.” Appellants vigorously complain of this decree, particularly on rehearing. It is not perceived that this provision in the judgment can affect the rights of any of the parties, and for that reason it will be regarded as surplusage. Appellants’ deed of trust lien was ordered foreclosed against this tract, without reservation, and the purchaser at the foreclosure sale will take a title undiminished by the foregoing provision in the decree. Mrs. Palm’s rights as a surety do not extend to the 210-acre tract, which was concededly community property.
Appellant O. E. Hardin complains, particularly on rehearing, of the refusal of the court below to decree in its judgment that appellant holds a sheriff’s deed to an undivided five-eighths’ interest in the land, and that by reason thereof the sale of the land under the judgment of foreclosure “should not affect appellant’s undivided five-eighths’ interest in said land,” which he owns by reason of his purchase at sheriff’s sale. The purchase of this five-eighths’ interest was made long after the deed of trust lien herein foreclosed, was created, and of which appellants had notice, and therefore their subsequent purchase at sheriff’s sale could not operate to impair or affect the existing deed of trust lien. It is for this reason, as well as those stated in the original opinion, that appellant’s fifth and sixth assignments of error were overruled.
Appellants complain also of the overruling of O. E. Hardin’s eighth, and the other appellants’ sixth, assignment of error, in which complaint is made of the failure of the trial court to file findings of fact. In their motions for rehearing, appellants introduce statements from the .record which were not embraced in their briefs,, but in. *953order to obtain consideration of these statements appellants should have set them out in their briefs. It is too late, after the assignment of error has been considered and disposed of on the briefs of the parties, to incorporate in the motion for rehearing statements from the record not contained in the brief,' and such statements will not be considered on rehearing.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
