Per Curiam.

We think the challenge was well ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍taken. That a juror had previously given an opinion on the very ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍question, in controversy, was a valid exception to his being sworn to try ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍the cause; the defendant’s proceeding to trial on the merits, afterwards, is no ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍waiver of the exception, nor does it preclude him from alleging the ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍misdirection of the judge, as error.

Judgment reversed.
