¶2(dissenting).

¶3It is my view that this judgment should: be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial because of an erroneous instruction. The instruction was, I think, contrary to the law of this State as set forth in Carraway v. Revell, Fla.1959, 116 So.2d 16, 22.

¶4The faulty instruction was objected to at charge conference, and the record reveals that it was upon a vital issue. It was therefore prejudicial. Once it appears-from the record that the issue is vital, it ought not to be incumbent on a party to include unnecessary matter in the record. T would think it most unfortunate if the opinion cited by the majority were interpreted to require unnecessary matter in a record.
