1Opinion of the Court
THE COURT.
This is a petition for a writ of prohibition to restrain the respondent judge from trying a damage case on the ground that he is disqualified, under the provisions of section 170 of the Code of Civil Procedure, having previously expressed his opinion to the effect that one of the petitioners and his witnesses had committed perjury in testifying at a former trial of the same cause regarding a material issue which was involved therein. By means of a demurrer it is charged the petition fails to state facts sufficient to warrant the issuing of a writ. No answer has been filed.
