OPINION

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

NOBLE, Justice.

{1} Appellant, for the first time on rehearing, asserts a lack of jurisdiction in the trial court because of failure to allege an indebtedness owing to Meadowdale, Inc. The contention is without merit. The court permitted an amendment to the pleadings to conform to the evidence. The complaint will be treated in all respects as so amended, and a failure to formally amend the pleadings does not affect the result of the trial on such issues. Rule of Civil Procedure 15(b) (21-1-1(15)(b), N.M.S.A. 1953). See Posey v. Dove, 57 N.M. 200, 257 P.2d 541. The motion for rehearing is denied.

{2} WE CONCUR:

DAVID W. CARMODY, C.J., DAVID CHAVEZ, JR., J.
