1Opinion of the Court
Willie, Chief Justice.
The caption of the transcript shows that this case was tried before the Hon. Geo. T. Vaughn, as special judge. The judgment also recites that the district judge was disqualified, and that the special j udge was appointed by the governor to try the cause. We think that where the record shows these facts, and the parties have submitted to the jurisdiction of the special judge, and have assigned *666no error here that questions it, we may presume that the appointment was regular, and take jurisdiction of the cause.
