Rehearing Denied Sept. 10, 1943.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Hillsborough County; L. L. Parks, Judge.

On rehearing.

Judgment, 10 So.2d 734, affirmed.

Carl T. Hoffman, L. L. Robinson, and Sam C. Matthews, all of Miami, and J. Lewis Hall, of Tallahassee, for petitioners.

Tillman & Henderson and Mabry, Reaves, Carlton & White, all of Tampa, for respondents.

PER CURIAM.

A rehearing having been granted and the Court having heard oral argument and further considered the record and briefs, it is ordered that we now adhere to our former judgment.

TERRELL, BROWN, CHAPMAN, THOMAS, and ADAMS, JJ., concur.

BUFORD, C. J., dissents.

SEBRING, J., not participating.

BUFORD, Chief Justice (dissenting).

On reconsideration of this case, I do not think that the allegations of the bill of complaint are sufficient to show that the defendant-executors under the Gribbel will are barred from pleading the statute of nonclaim. It is my opinion that the plea of nonclaim either presented an issue with the burden of proof on the defendant, or else presented a condition requiring amendments to the bill of complaint as replications are no longer available.

So the order striking the plea should be quashed.
