I agree with the holding that only the district court has jurisdiction to try felony cases, but I am of the opinion that the statute is unconstitutional under the authority of State v. Diamond, 27 N.M. 477, 202 P. 988, 20 A.L.R. 1527; State v. Armstrong, 31 N.M. 220, 254, 243 P. 333; State v. Prince, 52 N.M. 15,  189 P.2d 993; State v. Truby, 211 La. 178, 29 So. 2d 758, and State v. Vallery, 212 La. 1095, 34 So. 2d 329, and therefore dissent. *Page 113
