Bobbitt, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
In my opinion, the order of consolidation did not prejudice plaintiff Frances D. Kanoy. In her case, I agree the verdict and judgment should stand.
In my opinion, the minor plaintiff, Connie Reid Kanoy, was prejudiced by the order of consolidation, particularly so in view of the fact the court did not give positive instructions to the effect the negligence issue in his case should be answered, “Yes,” if the jury found that the collision and his injuries were caused by the joint and concurrent negligence of Frances D. Kanoy and of defendants. In Connie Reid Kanoy’s case, my vote is for a new trial.
SHARP and HusKins, JJ., join in this opinion.
