Opinion

Lumpkin, P. J.

1. When it appears that a contract has been reduced to writing and duly executed, it is erroneous to admit, over proper objection, parol evidence as to its contents; and proving by parol what a given writing does not contain is as much forbidden as proving in this manner what it does contain.

2. The court below erred in overruling the certiorari.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
