“"Rule 13 of the Alabama Rules of Judicial Administration clearly gives the presiding circuit judge the administrative authority to appoint a district judge to sit in a case, such as the present one, in which the presiding circuit judge recuses himself for reasons which do not appear of record. In this instance, therefore, we do not find the issue of the presiding circuit judge's authority to appoint the district judge to be a jurisdictional one capable of being raised for the first time on appeal."”
