Inasmuch as we have reached the same conclusion as reached by Judge Rice in regard to the sufficiency of the petition, it would appear that his holding cannot be considered to be evidence of his prejudice. Appellant cites Foreman v. Hunter, 59 Iowa 550, 13 N.W. 659, in which the justice who tried the case had contributed to a fund for the procurement of a certain witness in that case, and Powell v. Egan, 42 Neb. 482, 60 N.W. 932, in which an applicant for a liquor license obtained the signatures of the village trustees who were required to pass upon the granting or refusal of such license. In our opinion, however, neither of these cases is controlling on the proposition here presented.
