On Motion for Rehearing.
In paragraph four of the motion for rehearing by appellees, it is insisted that this court erred in rendering a personal judgment against James N. Lemond for the amount of the taxes for the recovery of which suit was brought.
The contention is made, in this connection, that Lemond was not the record owner of the land at the time the taxes accrued, and, further, that it was agreed in the statement of *304facts filed in the cause that Lemond “is not personally liable for any taxes herein sued for.”
The contention of appellees, in this respect, is correct, and it was not the purpose of the court to render personal judgment against Lemond and this is evidenced, as we believe, by the absence in the judgment of any provision for the issuance of execution against him. However; in order to relieve from any possible ambiguity, the judgment will be reformed so as to forbid the idea that the judgment is personal against Lemond.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
