22, 1836, and fixing as the boundary of her property, on the Neron street side, the line between said lot 4 and lot 3, as per said plat. It is further decreed that the claims of both plaintiff and defendant for damages be rejected. It is further decreed that this case be remanded to the district court for further inquiry into, and adjudication upon, the question of the location of the fence erected by defendant on, or in the vicinity of, the line between said lot 3 and lot 4. It is further

decreed that plaintiff pay the costs of this appeal, and that the costs of the district court await the ultimate decision of that tribunal upon the question for the decision of

which the case is remanded.

On Plaintiff's Application for Rehearing. In the opinion heretofore handed down in this case, it is said:

"The property purchased by De Young (plaintiff's author in title) was separated from Tenth street by lot 1, which was represented and sold as having 30 feet front on Madison street; and, if lot 1 were still there, the side line of plaintiff's lot 2 would still be 30 feet from the line of the street, and that is the way in which it is represented on Pilie's plat. But we have found that lot 1 has been thrown into and made part of the street, from which it follows that the lot now bordering on the street is that designated as lot 2 on the Rothaas plat, so that the Pilie plat, in representing lot 2 as still separated from the street by a lot (to which no number is given) 30 feet wide, is incorrect in that it places the side line of lot 2 30 feet further away from the original line of the street than it was when the survey was made, although neither line has changed its position nor could have done SO since that event. In any case, plaintiff is now and as between her and the defendant entitled to a frontage of 90 feet on Dante street, beginning at the present corner of Claiborne avenue and running in the direction of Neron street to the line separating lot 3 from lot 4, as shown by both the Rothaas and Pilie plats of survey."

*

And the decree rejects plaintiff's claim "to any part of lot 4, as delineated on the plat * * by Rothaas," and fixes "as the boundary of her property, on the Neron street side, the line between said lots 4 and 3, as per said plat," etc.

It is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment appealed from be amended by striking therefrom so much as awards the plaintiff the sum of $300, with interest, and, as amended, affirmed; plaintiff to pay the costs of the appeal. It is further ordered that the usual delay be allowed to both litigants within which to apply for rehearing.

On Defendant's Application for Rehearing.

PER CURIAM. Defendant has filed an

application for further amendment in which she alleges that, by affirming in part the judgment of the district court, we have, in a measure, approved the "Pilie plat," which our opinion holds to be incorrect. In order, therefore, to avoid possible confusion, we hereby set aside our last decree and recast the same as follows:

It is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment appealed from be set aside, and that there now be judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Miss Sarah Beatty, recognizing her as the owner of the property measuring 90 feet on Dante street, beginning at the corner of Claiborne avenue (formerly Mobile street) and running in the direction of Neron (or Napoleon street), by 117 feet, 6 inches, in depth, and recognizing the defendant, Miss Adele Burke, to be the owner of the balance of the property in said square (bounded by Dante, Neron [or Napoleon], and Dublin streets, and Claiborne avenue [or Mobile street] fronting on Dante street, to the corner of Neron street). It is further decreed that the case be remanded in order that the line between the property of the plaintiff and the defendant may be determined in accordance with the views expressed in the opinion herein filed. It is further decreed that the claims of both plaintiff and defendant for damages be rejected; that the costs of the appeal be paid by plaintiff; and that the costs of the district court await the decision of that tribunal upon the ques

tion for the decision of which the case is remanded.

Rehearing refused.

refused.

In amending, on May 12th, the decree handed down on March 31st, and refusing the rehearing, this court said.

It is evident that the conclusion reached was that "plaintiff is now and as between On Plaintiff's Application for Rehearing. her and the defendant entitled to a frontage of 90 feet on Dante street, beginning at the MONROE, J. Plaintiff's application for present corner of Claiborne avenue and run-rehearing, to which our special attention has ning in the direction of Neron street," and been called, has been duly considered and is that the subsequent language of the opinion and of the decree fixing the line on the Neron street side as between lots 4 and 3, "as shown by both the Rothaas and Pilie plats," was mere inadvertence, since the present corner of Claiborne avenue is formed by the lot 2 originally purchased by plaintiff's author from Philip Harty (lot 1 having been found to have been taken into the street), and 90 feet in the direction of Neron street carries plaintiff's property (lots 2, 3, and 4) to the line between lots 4 and 5, as per the Rothaas plat. It is therefore ordered that the decree heretofore handed down be recast and

"Plaintiff appears to be satisfied with the amended decree handed down on March 31st."

And it then proceeded to amend the decree referred to, with reference to defendant's application for rehearing, which alone had attracted its attention, and which alone was refused. It now appears that plaintiff had also filed such an application, which was overlooked by the court, but which has since been called to its attention, and duly considered.
