Koehring Co. v. Hyde Const. Co.

PartiesKOEHRING COMPANY v. HYDE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Inc.
CourtMississippi Supreme Court

Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens & Cannada, Roger C. Landrum, Jackson, John F. Friedl, W. A. Denny, Milwaukee, Wis., for appellant.

Cox, Dunn & Clark, Barnett, Montgomery McClintock & Cunningham, Jackson, for appellee.

SMITH, Justice.

Following the affirmance of this case, as reported in 178 So.2d 838 (Miss.1965), both parties filed suggestions of error, with supporting briefs. Replies from each side, also supported by briefs, were filed in response to a request of this Court.

We have now reviewed the entire case in the light of the excellent briefs submitted by both sides and have concluded that we should adhere to our former opinion and that both suggestions of error should be overruled.

During the pendency of the suggestions of error, the United States Supreme Court, in an opinion delivered January 17, 1966, in 86 S.Ct. 522, styled Koehring Co. v. Hyde Construction Co., Inc., reversed the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, 10th Circuit, reported as Hyde Construction Company v. Koehring Company 348 F.2d 643 (10th Cir. 1965), and held that the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma had acquired jurisdiction in that case on March 11, 1964.

As we read the January 17, 1966, decision of the United States Supreme Court, referred to above, it does not reach the question of the jurisdiction of the Hinds County Chancery Court to render the decree affirmed by this Court.

The suggestions of error filed by appellant and by appellee are overruled.

Suggestions of error overruled.

All Justices concur.

ON MOTION TO CORRECT JUDGMENT

RODGERS, Justice.

The appellee, Hyde Construction Company, filed a motion to correct the judgment heretofore entered in the above-styled cause on the following ground: The amount set out in the judgment of the Court in favor of appellee is excessive since the original amount of $468,450.08 included not only $51,733.71 for 'winter protection', plus $3,155.76, interest to April 1, 1963, but also $3,163.72 interest from April 1, 1963, to April 8, 1964. In the original judgment of this Court, we subtracted from the original amount allowed by the chancellor in the trial court, the sum of $54,889.47, the total for winter protection and interest to April 1, 1963. However, we did not subtract the interest which was included in the judgment, in the sum of $3,163.72 interest from April 1, 1963, to April 8, 1964.

We are of the opinion that the judgment of this Court should be corrected by subtracting from the total amount allowed by the chancellor, $464,450.08--the total sum of the 'winter protection' $51,733.71--plus the two items of interest on the winter protection, making a total sum of $58,053.19, leaving a balance of $406,396.89 due by the appellant Koehring Company to the appellee Hyde Construction Company, Inc. The judgment should allow six percent interest from and after April 8, 1964, on the balance due to the appellee.

It is next contended by the appellee that the judgment of the Court should be amended to include the surety on appellant's supersedeas bond, the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland. We agree that the judgment should be amended so as to include the judgment against the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, surety on appe...
