Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice PHILLIPS

delivered the opinion of the court.

In approving the report of the Commission of Appeals in this case, and in accord with its recommendation, we originally reversed the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded the case to the District Court for further trial.

It has come to our attention that the Court of Civil Appeals in its disposiiton of the ease did not consider certain assignments of error presented by the appellant there relating to the admissibility of certain testimony, but reversed the judgment of the District Court upon another and independent ground.

The Supreme Court is without jurisdiction of the assignments of error relating to this testimony, and the Court of Civil Appeals should not be denied the opportunity of determining them.

Both motions for rehearing, filed respectively by the plaintiffs in error and the defendant in error, will be overruled. Our judgment reversing the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals will stand, but instead of the cause being remanded to the District Court, as was done originally, it will be remanded to the Court of Civil Appeals for its consideration of the assignments of error on the testimony questions.

Reversed .and remanded to■ Court of Civil Appeals.
