The main thrust of plaintiff's argument in the Parsons appeal is directed to the refusal of the trial judge to include in his charge an instruction that 21 Del.

The court below refused to charge as requested in reliance, in part at least, on Bentley v. Interior Milling Co., 8 Terry 453, 93 A.2d 121. In that case the Superior Court was called upon to construe § 4130(a) (then 1935 Code, § 5626).
