    Campbell v. Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah.
    Decided November 9, 1926.
    Certiorari; from Chatham superior court — Judge Meldrim. July 6, 1926.
    
      Robert L. Colding, for plaintiff in error.
    
      John J. Bouhan, contra.
    Criminal Law, 17 O. J. p. 255, n. 53.
   Broyles, O. J.

The accused was convicted in tlie recorder’s court of Savannah of two offenses, to wit, disorderly conduct consisting of fighting upon a public highway, and disorderly conduct consisting of cursing in the women’s quarters of the police station. She was convicted of both offenses, and separate fines were imposed. She obtained a writ of certiorari, and upon the hearing thereof the certiorari was overruled, and to this judgment she excepted. After a careful review of the record we find no evidence authorizing a conviction upon the first charge, to wit, of fighting upon a public highway. Her conviction of the other offense was authorized.

Judgment reversed.

Luke, J., concurs. Bloodworth, J., absent on account of illness.
