    ROBERTSON v. RUSSELL.
    1. “The writ of certiorari does not lie to set aside a verdict or judgment which is not merely erroneous, but absolutely void.” Levadas v. Beach, 117 Ga. 178 (43 S. E. 418). See, also, Bass v. Milledgeville, 122 Ga. 177 (50 S. E. 59) ; Simpkins v. Bester, 3 Ga. App. 160 (‘59 S. E. 322).
    2. A judgment rendered by a justice of the peace at a place other than' that at which the court could lawfully sit is void. Bilson v. Kitchens, 107 Ga. 230 (33 S. E. 71, 73 Am. St. R. 119); Carter v. Atkinson, 12 Ga. App. 390 (77 S. E. 370).

It appears, from ..the answer of the magistrate, that, on account of the inclemency of the weather, the court was moved about forty yards from the usual place for' holding court and in sight of that place. ' The judgment rendered against the plaintiff in certiorari probably was void, as was held by the trial- judge, who sustained the certiorari. Carter v. Atkinson, 12 Ga. App. 390 (77 S. E. 370).- If the- judgment was void, certiorari was not the •remedy. A void 'judgment is no judgment, and may be disregarded and treated as an absolute nullity. - The judge of the superior court should, therefore, have overruled the certiorari,' since it was not available as a remedy to set aside a void judgment.

Judgment reversed.
