162 STEPHENSON v. T. & P. R. R. Co. [Tyler Term,
Statement of the case.
It does not appear that the amendment of the motion to
dismiss was objected to at the time, nor indeed that there
was any error in obtaining it.
It is further assigned as error that the court, in its judgment,

The judgment is affirmed.
