• 46 Fla. 581

Syllabus

<p>1. Upon collateral attack the jurisdiction of a court of general jurisdiction will be presumed unless the record disproves it.</p> <p>2. A decree rendered by the Circuit Court to which a cause has been transferred from another circuit because of the disqualification of the judge of the court in which it was instituted is not void upon collateral attack because the facts showing such disqualification are imperfectly set out in the record.</p> <p>3. The transmission of the original order of transfer, instead of a certified copy thereof, with the papers in the case to the clerk of the court to which a cause has been transferred because of disqualification of the judge is an irregularity only, and does not render the final decree entered in the cause void upon collateral attack.</p>
