case was distinguishable from that presented in this motion to affirm on certificate. We are still of that opinion. Therefore the motion for rehearing is overruled. Motion overruled.

MISSOURI, K. & T. RY. CO. OF TEXAS v. BRYSON et al. (Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. May 24, 1905.) Appeal from_District Court, Harrison County; Richard B. Levy, Judge. Action between J. M. Bryson and others and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company of Texas. From the judgment the latter appeals. Affirmed. Rehearing denied June 28, 1905. Figures & Pruitt, for appellant. T. P. Young and P. M. Young, for appellees.

FISHER, C. J. No error was committed by the trial court in the judgment rendered in this case. The facts in the record are sufficient to show that the appellant had not used proper diligence in presenting its answers in the jus tice's court and there defending against the claim of appellees. We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

ty; Marshall Surratt, Judge. Action between S. W. Slayden & Co. and M. Palmo. From the judgment S. W. Slayden & Co. appeal. On motion of appellees to strike out transcript. Motion overruled. Richard I. Munroe and J. R. Downs, for the motion. Eugene Williams and Clark & Bolinger, opposed.

FISHER, C. J. On the authority of Henry v. Boulter (Tex. Civ. App.) 63 S. W. 1056, Bassett v. Mills, 89 Tex. 162, 34 S. W. 93, and United States v. Gomez, 1 Wall. 690, 17 L. Ed. 677, the motion of appellees to strike out the transcript is overruled. Motion overruled.

EWELL & SMITH v. JACKSON'S ADM'R. (Court of Appeals of Kentucky. Nov. 3, 1905.) Response to petition for rehearing and modification. For majority opinion, see 88 S. W. 1047.

NUNN, J. The court considered the questions involved in this case, presented in the petition for a rehearing, prior to writing the opinion, and we do not find any reason to change our conclusion. If the court erred in naming the survey of 687 acres, charged by the lower court to appellants, "as the Helton survey," this cannot be material. It is clear that the 350 acres alleged to have been sold by Jackson to Ewell are to be deducted from the 687-acre survey charged by the lower court to appellants, and it matters not if it be called "Helton" or by some other name. Petition overruled.
