¶5PER CURIAM.

¶6The appeal by defendant is from a .judgment entered upon a jury verdict in favor of plaintiffs for damages due to injuries suffered in an automobile collision. The question is essentially whether it was reversible error for the trial court to refuse to instruct the jury, as requested, with respect to a certain minor aspect of the evidence. In the context of the case as a whole we think the failure so to instruct did not constitute reversible error.

¶7Affirmed.
