Summary of this case from Hoke Cnty. Bd. of Educ. v. StateOpinion
(Filed 9 December, 1914.)
Supreme Court — Rehearing — Petition Dismissed.
This petition to rehear having been fully and carefully considered, and it appearing that the errors assigned have already been passed upon in well considered opinions of this Court, and no new fact has been called to the attention of the Court, or new case or authority cited, or new position assumed, the petition is dismissed.
PETITION by defendant to rehear the above entitled case, which is reported in 163 N.C. 78.
Ward Thompson, Charles Whedbee, Winston Biggs for plaintiffs.
W. B. Rodman, A. D. McLean, J. K. Wilson for defendants.
This case was before this Court at Fall Term, 1912, on appeal from a judgment of nonsuit, and a new trial granted in an opinion by Mr. Justice Walker, 160 N.C. 263. It was before us a second time at Fall Term, 1913, on appeal by defendant, and the case was fully considered in an opinion by the Chief Justice, and in the judgment of the Superior Court we found no error. 163 N.C. 78.
We have again carefully considered the case upon the defendant's petition, and find no reason to reverse our former judgment.
The grounds of error assigned in the petition are substantially the same as those argued and passed upon on the former hearing. In the brief of the learned counsel for the defendant no new fact has been called to our attention, and no new case or authority cited, and no new position assumed.
