STEAKLEY, Justice
(dissenting).
I agree with the analysis by the Court •of Civil Appeals of the charge of the trial court, and of its holdings, with respect to the element of subsequent aggravation. The Court of Civil Appeals correctly recognized that the jury could and would reasonably conclude from the charge that aggravation by the subsequent injury could not be considered. In my opinion, such was subject to consideration by the jury where submitted affirmatively, as here, without objection from the opposing party, and where the incorrect manner of submission was sufficiently pointed out by the other party. I would therefore affirm the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals.
CALVERT, C. J., joins in this opinion.
