Head Matter:
Byron JONES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Supreme Court of Florida. En Banc.
Sept. 28, 1956.
On Rehearing Jan. 25, 1957.
Carl C. Durrance and C. J. Hardee, Tampa, for appellant.
Richard W. Ervin, Atty. Gen., and David U. Tumin, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The question here which merits consideration is whether a portion of the trial court's charge to the jury constitutes revers-able error. In instructing the jurors with reference to their deliberation, the trial judge stated: "There wouldn't be any point in having but one of you if somebody could just say, 'Well, it's this way, Boys, and you are going to go my way, or else.' When lunch time comes, we always send a Bailiff in with a bunch of hay to a fellow like that." ^
This would infer that such a juror would " be a stubborn mule or a jackass. Such a statement is anything but judicial. However, we fail to find any reversable error therein since there is no indication as to which party such stubbornness, if any, would be directed.
Judgment below is affirmed.
DREW, C. J., TERRELL, HOBSON, ROBERTS and THORNAL, JJ., and MORROW, Associate Justice, concur.
TPIOMAS, J., agrees to the word "af-firmance".
