Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company v. Shuman.
    Submitted October 10, —
    Decided October 17, 1904.
    Certiorari. Before Judge Seabrook. Liberty superior court. February 3, 1904.
    
      W. L. Clay and Shelby Myrick, for plaintiff in error.
   Simmons, C. J.

“When the only error alleged in a petition for certiorari is that the verdict therein complained of is contrary to law and to the evidence, and it appears that the evidence demanded a verdict for the plaintiff in certiorari, the superior court should, of course, sustain the certiorari; hut it is erroneous in such a case, though there he no conflict in the evidence, to render a final judgment in his favor.” Holmes v. Pye, 107 Ga. 784; Patterson v. Railway Co., 117 Ga. 827.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
