1.

Oliver v. Macon. Hardware Co., 98 Ga. 249; Stuart v. Poole, 112 Ga. 818.

2. The court below was right in sustaining the certiorari, but, instead of rendering a final judgment, should have ordered a new trial in the magistrate’s court. See Holmes v. Pye, 107 Ga. 784 ; Alabama R. Co. v. Austin, 112 Ga. 61.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lewis, J., absent.
