MERRILL, Justice.

The petition for certiorari to the Court of Appeals must be stricken because ‍​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‍it is not on transcript paper. Supreme Court Rule 32, Revised Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court, 1955 Cum.Pocket Part to Vol. 2, Code 1940, Appendix, p. ‍​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‍233, 261 Ala.

Subsequent to submission, ‍​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‍appellant became aware that the petition was not on transcript paper and requested leave to remedy this defect. In view of this request, we have considered the ‍​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‍petition on its merits and find no reason to reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The writ would have been denied had the application not been ‍​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‍stricken.

Petition for writ of certiorari stricken.
