HENRIOD, Justice.
I concur, but make the following observation. The consolidation to determine liability which was ordered at pre-trial, so far as I can determine from the record, was without any motion therefor having been- made by any of the parties. The' consolidation to determine liability no doubt was made to expedite matters and save expense. I am wondering if expedition and saving of expense would not be accomplished further if consolidation were ordered to determine not only liability but to determine damages, if liability were established. In such event, one jury could handle all matters and it would save a great deal of time and expense in im-panelling eleven new and different juries.
