[EX Q]: could be reached was made. A juror responded, “No, sir, we haven’t been able so far. Judge, we stand 11 to 1.” Gidley, supra, at 114, 95 So. 330. With this knowledge the judge proceeded to give a modified “Allen charge” which contained patently coercive language. At one point the judge stated, “The business of the courts cannot be disposed of by mistrials.” Gidley, supra at 114, 95 So. 330. In the case at bar, the court gave no “Allen charge” and did not admonish the jury to reach a verdict. The judge’s inquiry in this case was made for the purpose of determining the practicability of allowing the jury, which had requested a review of some of the testimony, more time for deliberation. We find no reversible error here. See also, Orr v. State, 269 Ala. 176, 111 So.2d 639 (Ala.1959) (<HOLDING>); Ex Parte Morris, 465 So.2d 1180, 1183-84
