Although I do not think we should slavishly follow precedents which to us may not appear sound, I believe we should be very hesitant in reversing a former holding of this court based upon the same record. In George L. Rogers v. Jefferson,
224 Iowa 324 ,275 N.W. 874 , this court held that the question of contributory negligence, here involved, was for the jury. Although not strictly stare decisis in this case, I am inclined to follow that holding without expressing an opinion as to its correctness.MITCHELL, C.J., concurs in this special concurrence.
