Robinson v. Bacon

111 S.E. 579, 28 Ga. App. 423, 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 563

Opinion

Jenkins, P. J.

Upon this writ of error, by which it is sought to review a judgment of the superior court, sustaining a certiorari from a verdict and judgment in a justice’s court, the judge certifies that he “ sustained the certiorari generally and not upon any • particular ground.” The evidence did not demand the verdict rendered in the justice’s court, but would have amply authorized a verdict for the petitioner in certiorari. This being the only question involved, and the order sustaining the certiorari having the effect of a first grant of new trial, it will not be disturbed. Walker v. Hughes, 120 Ga. 1079 (48 S. E. 387); Maner v. Clark-Stewart Co., 27 Ga. App. 553 (109 S. E. 178).

Judgment affirmed.

Stephens and Hill, JJ., concur.
