The opinion
SIMMS, Justice,
concurring in part, dissenting in part:
I concur with that portion of the decision which reverses the trial court’s judgment in favor of plaintiff. I dissent from that portion which remands the matter to the trial court to receive a new trial as to the tile incident. I would reverse the trial court and remand with directions to enter judgment in favor of defendants.
I am authorized to state that Chief Justice HARGRAVE joins me in the views expressed herein.
