Giueem, J.

The County of Dougherty, through its proper officers, issued an execution against P. H.

An affidavit of illegality was filed by the tax-collector. A demurrer to the affidavit and an agreed statement of facts were filed. The case was submitted to the presiding judge to be heard and determined by" him without the intervention of a jury, upon all questions of law and fact.
