SAYRE, J.

The court here holds that the Court of Appeals reached ‍​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍the correct conclusion in the ease presented to it. The court prefers, however, to say that we do not intend ‍​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍to he understood as holding the opinion that respondent Mc-Elroy may not sit in the trial of causes, other than ‍​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍appeals from the recorder’s courts of the city of Birmingham, nor that other judges of the circuit may not on ‍​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍proper occasion try such appeals. The statute provides that the eleventh judge shall try such cases “in preference to any ‍​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍other cases.”

Writ denied.

ANDERSON, C. J., and THOMAS and BROWN, JJ., concur.
