On Petition for Rehearing
KEETON, Chief Justice.
After the release of the above opinion, appellant filed a petition for rehearing, contending that the cause should not be remanded for a new trial, but should be ordered dismissed.
On considering the petition, the Court requested respondent and its attorneys to file a brief covering the contention advanced by appellant in the petition for rehearing.
In response to this request, the attorney general filed a statement that he concurred with the authorities cited and “joins with appellant-defendant’s prayer in his petition and declines to plead further in the matter”.
Under the circumstances above presented, we see no reason for not deciding the matter without further briefing or hearing. We do not decide the legal question presented by the petition.
The rehearing is denied. The opinion so filed and released on December 24, 1957, is therefore corrected in the following particulars: The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded with instructions to the trial court to dismiss the action.
PORTER, TAYLOR, SMITH and Mc-QUADE, JJ., concur.
