Description
The principal issues involved on this appeal regard instructions given and refused by the court. Specifically we are concerned with the difference in the effect of an instruction containing the clause ""a proximate cause"" and one containing the clause ""the proximate cause."" FACTS. It will be necessary to set out only sufficient facts to clarify the issues here involved. About 7:00 P.M., Sunday, June 17, 1951, one John F. Lydon, was driving an automobile in a westerly direction along highway 70, going from Benton to Hot Springs. In the car with him were the appellants, Aline Lydon, Margaret Lydon, and Francis Patrick Lydon, who was the driver's minor son. John Timothy Lydon, a minor son of the driver, was also in the car, but apparently he was not injured as no judgment was asked for in his favor. When Lydon's car approached an intersection with highway 70 he attempted a left turn and while doing so his car was struck by a car being driven easterly on highway 70 by appellee, Robert S. Dean. As a result of the collision, it is alleged that appellants were injured. By stipulation of the parties, but withheld from the jury, it appears that previously appellee had sued John F. Lydon for damages as a result of this collision and that a settlement was effected whereby Lydon paid appellee a stipulated amount.
