Opinion of the Court

Winborne and Ervin, JJ.,

considering the petition to rehear.

Careful consideration of the petition leads us to the conclusion that it should be denied. Observations in the opinion must be read in the light of the matters appearing in the present record. The decision is not to be construed to lay down any general rule invalidating contracts for indemnity against consequences of future acts of negligence.

Petition denied.
