    Certiorari; from Fulton superior court—Judge Pendleton. December 2, 1918.

To the following goods, belonging to Mrs. Stamper, held by Mr. and Mrs. Oakes:” then followed a list of items, including “1 shade, $1.25,” .“1 dresser scarf, $1.00,” “3 bed sheets, $3.00,” and similar items. The demurrer referred to in the decision was based on the grounds that these items were too vague and indefinite, that there was a misjoinder of parties, that it did not appear how the articles were held, and that it did not appear how Mrs. Oakes was liable.
