The opinion

On Petition to Rehear

Defendants have filed an earnest petition to rehear, and an able argument. It points out, however, no matter of fact or law overlooked, but only re-argues matters which able counsel insists were improperly decided, after argument and full consideration. Such petition presents no ground for a rehearing.

“ ‘The office of a petition to rehear is to call the attention of the court to matters overlooked, not to those things which the counsel supposes were improperly decided after full consideration’ ” (citing cases). City of Paris v. Paris-Henry County Public Utility District, 207 Tenn. 388, 398 , 340 S.W.2d 885, 890 .

The petition is denied at petitioners’ cost.
