Opinions

Luke, J.

Upchurch Packing Company Inc. brought an action in the municipal court of Atlanta against M. Froug and Pearl Froug, for the recovery of $120 alleged to be due and owing upon an open account. Judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff against M. Froug, and a motion for a new trial was overruled. This judgment was affirmed upon appeal to the appellate division of the municipal court. The case was carried to the superior court by writ of certiorari, which upon the hearing was overruled. To this order exception was taken; and the case is here for review. The plaintiff in error complains that the trial court erred in refusing a motion for a continuance upon the ground of the absence of a material witness, but fails to show in connection with his application that there was compliance with the requirements of the Civil Code (1910), § 5715. Hence the trial judge committed no error in overruling the motion.

Nor was there error in ovérruling the demurrer to the complaint, or in refusing to grant a nonsuit for any of the reasons assigned in either connection, or in refusing to grant a new trial. Therefore the overruling of the certiorari will not be disturbed.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, G. J., and Bloodworih, J., concur.
