On Motion for Rehearing.
Upon further consideration, we have concluded that appellee is entitled to an af-firmance of that part of the judgment below which gives a recovery in favor of plaintiff against the Julian Petroleum Corporation. See Martin v. Hawkins, by this court, 23S S. ■W. 991, writ of error refused; Employers’ Indemnity Corporation et al. v. Southwest National Bank, 299 S. W. 676, by the El Paso Court of Civil Appeals. While a writ of error seems to have been granted in the last-cited case, we do not know upon what grounds, and we think that the first case cited, together with a large number of other cases, holding that, where the liability is several, a judgment may be affirmed as to one of the parties defendant and reversed and remanded as to the others, is well established by the authorities.
Therefore the judgment heretofore rendered, in so far as it reversed and remanded the cause as to the controversy between the appellee and appellant Julian Petroleum Corporation, is vacated, and the judgment below as to these two parties is affirmed. The judgment of this court in other respects is left undisturbed, and the motion for rehearing by appellants is overruled.
