¶1RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR REHEARING BY

CHIEF JUSTICE ITobson

¶2Overruling petition.

¶3The only matter that has been determined in this case is the right of appellees to use the passway in question as' a public passway. The counterclaim for the cutting of appellant’s timber could not be asserted in an action to establish a public passway, and this matter was properly disregarded by the circuit court. Appellant may, in an independent action, litigate the matter, and this action will be no bar to an action for that purpose.

¶4Petition overruled.
