MR. JUSTICE ADAIR,
dissenting.
I am unable to agree with the majority opinion herein, and *350think that snch majority opinion closely parallels the majority opinion in the case of Monforton v. Northern Pacific Ry., 138 Mont. 191, 355 P.2d 501, in which latter case I registered my dissent.
The instant Hannigan ease was carefully tried to a jury on what I consider proper and appropriate instructions and I do not think the jury’s verdict should be disturbed, nor should the judgment rendered on such jury’s verdict be nullified. This court consisting of five members sits as an appellate court and not as a jury.
I would affirm the judgment of the district court made in conformity with the jury’s verdict in the instant case.
