Holton vs. Hendley.
    Certiorari, from Pulaski. Bond. Forcible entry and detainer. Certiorari. Jury and Jurors. (Before Judge Kibbee.) ■
    W. L. Grice; L. C. Ryan, for plaintiff in error.
    J. H. Martin, for defendant.
   Blandford, J.

1. Where a certiorari was taken from the trial of a case of forcible entry and detainer before a justice and jury, and the plaintiff in certiorari paid the costs which had accrued and gave bond for all future costs, this was a substantial compliance with the statute, and a motion to dismiss the certiorari was properly refused. In such a case there is no eventual condemnation money except the costs. 15 Ga., 39.'

2. On the trial of a case of forcible entry and detainer a party is entitled to purge the jury by putting them on their voire dire, in order to show that they are not fair and impartial jurors. Code, §4086; 15 Ga., 39; 59 Id., 145.

Judgment affirmed.
