OPINION ON PETITION TO REHEAR
BROCK, Chief Justice.The defendants have filed a petition to rehear which the Court has considered but found to be without merit.
A petition for rehearing will not be granted which merely reargues petitioner’s original position. Supreme Court Rule 32; New Jersey Zinc Co. v. Cole, Tenn., 532 S.W.2d 246 (1975).
A rehearing will be refused where no new argument is made, no new authority is adduced and no material fact is pointed out as having been overlooked. Insurance Co. of North America v. Cliff Pettit Motors, Inc., Tenn., 513 S.W.2d 785 (1974).
*672The proper office of a petition to rehear is to call attention of the Court to matters which were overlooked in the original opinion, not those matters which counsel supposes to have been improperly decided after full consideration. Clover Bottom Hospital and School v. Townsend, Tenn., 513 S.W.2d 505 (1974).
The instant petition does nothing more than reargue matters previously argued and considered by the Court. Accordingly, the petition to rehear is overruled.
FONES, COOPER, HENRY and HARBI-SON, JJ., concur.
