Opinion

Bloodworth, J.

A majority of the court is of the opinion that the record in this case and the opinion of the Supreme Court when the original • casé between these parties was before it (144 Ga. 534) show that-'the ■original petition filed by the plaintiff was dismissed on special demurrer; and therefore that the- merits of- the case have never been passed upon, and the court below, trying the case without the intervention of a jury, erred in sustaining the plea of res adjudicata and dismissing the petition.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, P. J., and Harwell, J., concur.
