Lewis v. Jones

On Original and Amended Motions for Rehearing.

Since our original opinion was filed in the foregoing case, the Supreme Court has held in Government Personnel Mutual Insurance Company v. Wear, 251 S.W.2d 525, under facts which are the legal equivalent of the facts in this case that the provision of art. 2226, which allowed $20, before it was amended to allow reasonable attorney’s fees, applies.

We, therefore, withdraw our former holding so contrary to that of the Supreme Court, and affirm the judgment of the trial court as rendered, which limited recovery of attorney’s fees to $20.

Except as herein specified, motions for rehearing are refused.
