        "text": "OPINION ON REHEARING.\nHughes, J.\nThe petition for rehearing is based on the idea that the court erred in holding that a copy of an account of the appellee Farrell against the appellant taken from Farrell\u2019s books was evidence in the case without his books, but the counsel for appellant misunderstood the court\u2019s ruling. It did not hold that this copy was evidence, but held that, the appellee having proved by his testimony the items of his account, it was not improper to allow the copy, which was proved to be a true copy,'to be used by him to refresh his memory, and that it went to the jury, not as evidence, but only as a memorandum of what the appellee had sworn to. The petition for rehearing urges that the court erred in allowing the appellee the charge for repairing the engine for Garland Black, who was in the service of the company, and says the engine was Black\u2019s property, which is very true, but the evidence tends to \u2022 show that it was ordered repaired by the appellee, by the general manager of the company, for the interest and benefit Of the company, and that it was important for the company\u2019s interest that it should be repaired. Having, through their general manager, employed and ordered the appellee to do the work in repairing it, it seemed right that the appellant should pay him for it.\nThe motion is overruled.",
