The opinion
On Petition by the Respondents for a Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
The respondents are right in saying that it was not the libellant and DiDonna who misplaced the cover that later rocked and made the libellant fall. This was misplaced by two other members of the same gang before the libellant and Di-Donna walked over it. It is impossible to see what conceivable difference this can make in the result; indeed, if anything, it confirms our ruling.
Petition denied.
