Citation104 So.2d 456,233 Miss. 853
PartiesVernon GIBSON v. A. P. LINDSEY, DISTRIBUTOR, Inc. and Carroll C. Westbrook.
CourtMississippi Supreme Court

Appeal from Circuit Court, Hinds County; Leon F. Hendrick, Judge.

On suggestion of error.

Vardaman S. Dunn, Jackson, Norman B. Gillis, Jr., McComb, for appellant.

Crisler, Crislery & Bowling, Jackson, Simrall, Aultman & Pope, Hattiesburg, for appellees.

ETHRIDGE, Justice.

Westbrook and A. P. Lindsey, Distributor, Inc., have filed a suggestion of error as cross-appellants, and Westbrook has filed a separate suggestion of error as a direct appellant from the judgment on his cross-claim. There is no merit in either, so they are overruled. However, in our original opinion no express reference was made to Westbrook's direct appeal with reference to his cross-claim. Hence the Court's judgment is corrected to reflect the disposition of that direct appeal, and the cause is affirmed on both the cross appeals and on the direct appeal of Westbrook. Otherwise, as we have heretofore adjudicated, on the direct appeal of Gibson the case is reversed and judgment rendered here for appellant Gibson.

Suggestions of error overruled, and judgment corrected so as to affirm the direct appeal of Westbrook, as well as the cross-appeal.

McGEHEE, C. J., and HALL, LEE and HOLMES, JJ., concur.
