ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
Upon consideration of the motion for a rehearing in this case, we are convinced that we erred in rendering the judgment. We know from the record that the transcript of "the suit of the Insurance Co. v. Mary F. Swain was offered in evidence, but what it contained we do not know. It occurred to us in disposing of the case, that the suit must have been to recover of Mrs. Swain as survivor of the community for the shares of stock, which Swain has used and appropriated, when they had not been paid for; and this would have taken the entire fund as compensation. But it now appears that the suit may have been for stock subscribed for and for which no payment had been made and that the suit was that of a simple creditor for a debt created by Swain. Therefore we think the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals should be reversed and the cause remanded; and it is accordingly so ordered.
