““The judgment of reversal entered by us has been in turn reversed by the Supreme Court; and this case is remanded to us for further consideration in the light of the Supreme Court’s opinion. “Ordinarily, and in accordance with the law that prevails (Code 1923, § 7318, Code 1940, Title 13, § 95), all that would remain would be for us to enter an order affirming the judgment of the Circuit Court — in obedience to the expressed views of the Supreme Court. “But we feel that an error of fact has been committed — for which we may possibly be responsible — and that upon this error the opinion by our Supreme Court has bee.n promulgated. If indeed we are correct in this feeling — ■ and it is our best judgment — we are persuaded that it is our duty to the appellant, to the Supreme Court, and to ourselves, to correct the facts,'so that the Supreme Court cannot misunderstand upon what its holding is based. “To that end we propose to re-state the facts upon which our holding was based — thus giving the Supreme Court an opportunity to correct its holding — ” if it so desires.”
