Syllabus

<p>Change op Plage op Trial—Disqualification op Judge—Bias.—The only ground, for a change of the place of trial of an action which has any relation to the judge of a court of record is the disqualification of the judge from acting, for some one of the reasons specified in section 130 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and bias or prejudice on the part of the judge is not ground for a change of the place of the trial.</p> <p>Id.—Immaterial Affidavit—Contempt of Court.—An affidavit for the change of the place of trial, setting forth bias or prejudice on the part of the judge, is irrelevant and immaterial, and can form no excuse or justification for language and statements used in the affidavit constituting disorderly, contemptuous, and insolent behavior toward the judge of the court while holding the court; and such behavior may be punished as a contempt of court.</p>
