The opinion

NOBLE, Justice. On Motion for Rehearing.

Our attention has been called to language of our original opinion by which we said that an award of attorney’s fees by the court is to the attorney and not to the injured workman. Judgment for attorney’s feesruns to the claimant, Feldhut v. Latham, 60 N.M. 87 , 287 P.2d 615 , but such award of attorney’s fees is -for claimant’s attorney. Section 59-10-23, subd. D, Laws 1955, Ch. 274, § 1(d).

The opinion heretofore filed will stand, except as modified herein, and mandate will issue in accordance with the original opinion,

It is so ordered.

COMPTON, C. J., and CHAVEZ, J., concur. CARMODY and MOISE, JJ., not participating.
