McGraw v. Merchants' & Planters' Nat. Bank of Sherman

On Motion for Rehearing.

In their motion for rehearing, plaintiffs in er'ror complain of a recitation contained ⅛ the opinion to the effect that, at the time McGraw executed the trust deeds involved in the suit, the community administration had not been closed, but remained open; the contention is that the expression is in effect a finding of fact, and, not being supported by either pleading or proof, we are asked to correct the record.

It is true there is no express allegation in the pleadings to the effect that the community administration had not been closed or remained open at the time McGraw executed the trust deeds to secure the bank, nor is there any proof specifically so stating, but neither allegation nor proof on this point was called for; there was no issue joined on the subject. Both parties assumed from the beginning to the end of the lawsuit that the administration was pending at the time of these occurrences, and all proceedings, offensive and defensive, were based and proceeded on that assumption; hence we find no reason to make correction. We have considered all assignments for rehearing, and, finding no error, the motion is denied.

Both motions overruled.
