The Supreme Court of Florida has held that the appellate jurisdiction cannot be invoked and a cause bodily transferred to the appellate court except from a determination of a trial court. Newcomb v. Roarty, Fla. 1957, 93 So.2d 373. This rule is necessary because the jurisdiction confer*874red on the circuit court under. Section 6 of Article 5 of the Constitution of Florida, 26 F.S.A., cannot be transferred to this Court by Rule 4.6, Florida Appellate Rules, 31 F.S.A. The Constitution confers original jurisdiction on the circuit court to adjudicate the question posed here. The conclusion reached in the circuit court may be reviewed on appeal. Sieverts v. Loffer, Fla. 1950, 45 So.2d 483.
The area within which Rule 4.6, Florida Appellate Rules, 31 F.S.A., operates has been carefully delineated by the Supreme Court. Schwob Co. v. Florida Industrial Comm’n, 152 Fla. 203, 11 So.2d 782 (1942).
