The form of the second issue is defective. The ‍​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‍record shows that his Honor instructed the jury to consider the issue as if it read, “Did the ‍​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‍plaintiff contribute by his own negligence to his injury?” which is the usual and approved form. We think the ‍​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‍error was fully cured.

We have examined the other assignments of error, all of which relate to the charge ‍​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‍of the court, and find them to be without substantial merit.

The case was fairly put to the jury ‍​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‍in accord with the well-settled decisions of this Court.

No error.
