Overstreet v. Norman

On Petition to Rehear

PELTS, J.

Defendant below, plaintiff in error, has filed a petition to rehear complaining of our decision and opinion in these cases. In support of the petition learned counsel make an able and earnest argument, but it is only a reargument of matters already thoroughly argued *352by them and considered and determined by ns. It points ont no new matter of law or fact overlooked, but only reargues thing’s which counsel say were improperly decided by us.

The office of a petition to rehear is to call attention to the Court of matters overlooked, not to things which counsel supposes were improperly decided after full consideration. A petition which points out no new matter of law or fact overlooked will be denied. Cox v. McCartney, 34 Tenn. App. 235, 243, 236 S. W. (2d) 736, and cases there cited.

The petition is denied at the petitioner’s cost.

Hickerson and Shriver, JJ., concur.
