Allen, J. Tinder the ramification of the social and business interests conceded to exist between the judge of the court of common pleas and the defendants in the four actions covered by this record, any one, whether consciously or unconsciously, would have a natural inclination to prejudge the several cases. It is of vital importance that the litigant should believe that he will have a fair trial.
