Judge BROCK
concurring.
The record of the trial of plaintiff’s action against A & P was filed in this action in support of defendant’s motion for summary judgment. That record apparently contained the full transcript of the trial judge’s instructions to the jury. If the instructions given did not require the jury to determine the exact principle of liability presented by the present action, the plaintiff doubtless would have included it in the record on appeal in this case. In its absence, we presume that the allowance of defendant’s motion for summary judgment in this action was based upon a determination from the record of the former trial that the identical issue had already been determined adversely to plaintiff.
