    Parker v. Bridges.
    Decided March 14, 1918.
    Certiorari; from Decatur superior court—-Judge Harrell. May 24, 1917.
    
      J. Q. Hale, M. K. O’Neal, for plaintiff- in error.
    
      W. V. Custer, contra.
   Bloodworth, J.

Sustaining a certiorari for the first time on the ground that the verdict is contrary to the evidence is in the nature of a first grant of a new trial on that ground; and where the ^evidence was conflicting and did not demand the verdict, this court will not interfere with the discretion of the court below in its grant of a new trial. Telford v. Coggins, 76 Ga. 683; Buice v. Buice, 111 Ga. 887 (36 S. E. 969); Stalnaker v. Beach, 18 Ga. App. 172 (88 S. E. 991).

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Barwell, J., concur.
