On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant, Planters’ State Bank, of Har-lingen, urges us to reconsider that part of our opinion that disposed of its third and fourth assignments of error.
The third assignment is:
“As additional error intervener shows that the finding of the jury to the seventh issue submitted was in favor of intervener and defendant, Kelly, in that it found the forty-three head of cattle that Creekmore mortgaged to the Harlingen State Bank on March 18, 1920, were owned by Kelly individually, and that Creek-more had no rightful claim to the proceeds thereof, and the court erred in not holding that said proceeds were entitled to be applied to Kelly’s $1,450 note.”
The finding of the jury is as stated. This finding of the jury was set aside by the trial court, and we were inclined to sustain it upon the ground that the cattle were covered by the Creekmore mortgage and subject thereto, but a very careful review of the whole ease has convinced us that there was ample testimony to support the jury’s finding, and for that reason it cannot be set aside here or ignored.
It does appear that all the parties requested the issue as to the ownership of the 43 head of cattle to be submitted to the jury, and on that issue the finding was favorable to appellant.
Having convinced ourselves that we should sustain the verdict of the jury in this case, we therefore grant the motion for rehearing, and reverse the judgment, and here render judgment in favor of appellant.
