RICE, Judge.

It is enough to say, in disposing of this appeal, that the prosecution is ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‍for a violation of an ordinance of the city of Florence ; and that, Code 1923, § 3258, not applying (Casteel v. City of Decatur, 215 Ala. 4, 109 So. 571), and there ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‍being no assignment of error “written upon the transcript,” in accordance with Supreme Court Rule of Practice No. 1 (Code 1923, vol. 4, p. 880) there is nothing presented for ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‍our decision. Halle v. Brooks, 209 Ala. 486, 96 So. 341.

It seems anomalous to affirm a judgment which is clearly erroneous (Wright v. City of Bessemer, 209 Ala. 374, 96 So. 316), but ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‍we are not permitted (Code 1923, § 7318) to make shipwreck of the rules of practice — so vital ■to an orderly administration of the law — in order to save ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‍possible hardship in an isolated case. Halle v. Brooks, supra.

The judgment appealed from is affirmedi

Affirmed.
