Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks review by certio-rari of that decision reported as City of Coral Gables v. Jordan, Fla.App.1966, 186 So.2d 60. The district court certified that the decision "passes on a question of great public interest" so we have jurisdiction.
We have determined that under the facts of this cause the decision of the majority of the district court holding that it was prejudicial error to allow the submission of evidence of settlement by defendant of the claim of a third party in the same accident is correct.
The decision of the district court is therefore approved and affirmed.
