Syllabus

<p>Change of venue—Disqualification of judge.—That “the presiding judge- had heretofore, as counsel, given an opinion in regard to the validity of the title to the land in controversy,’ is not equivalent to “where he shall have been of counsel in the ’case,” (Const. of 1869, Art. V, see. 11,) and is not a ground of disqualification,! and an order for change of venue for such reason is not legal, and when objected to, is a cause of reversal.</p>
