On Motion for Rehearing.
We have examined the decisions cited in behalf of appellee in the motion for rehearing and think they are distinguishable from the case before us, and yet believe, under the circumstances of this case, that we reached the proper conclusion on the original hearing. Moreover, we think substantial justice was reached by our original conclusion.
[4, 5] It is clear from the findings and from the undisputed testimony that appellant, if not entitled to a rescission, was at least entitled to damages, which equals the amount of the judgment awarded by us. If so, the judgment was right (Cash Register Co. v. Berry, 35 Tex. Civ. App. 554, 80 S. W. 85), unless possibly it should be said that appellee waived his plea for damages by an election at the trial to rely upon the count in his petition praying for a rescission. But in equity this conclusion can scarcely be justified, it appearing that the election was compelled by the trial court.
The motion for rehearing will accordingly be overruled.
On Motion to Certify..
We are of the opinion that, as applied to the findings and circumstances in this case, there is no real conflict in our conclusions herein with the eases cited to that end in behalf of appellee, and hence, our judgment being final, we think the motion to certify must be overruled. See Cole v. State (Sup.) 170 S. W. 1036.
