On Appellants’ Motions for Rehearing.
Appellants in their 'motions for rehearing urge, among other things, that the case should be reversed and remanded instead of affirmed, for the reason that the formula for computing the amount of the tax due, laid down by this court, differs from that used by the Comptroller in com*859puting and collecting the taxes involved; and that the case was not fully developed on the trial to show the correct amount of such taxes legally due by them under the formula adopted by this court. In this they are correct. Having sued, among other things, to recover the taxes paid by them under protest, they would be entitled to recover any portion thereof so paid by them in excess of what they were legally required to pay. Said motions are therefore granted to that extent. The judgment of this court affirming the judgment of the trial court is therefore set aside and the cause is reversed and remanded to the trial court to determine what amount, if any, of the taxes heretofore paid by appellants under protest they may show themselves entitled to recover. In all other respects said motions are overruled.
Granted in part and in part overruled.
