23133.
    EDWARDS et al. v. LAMPKIN.
    Argued October 11, 1965
    Decided October 20, 1965.
    
      Arnold & Harris, Robert B. Harris, Nancy Pat Phillips, for plaintiffs in error.
   Grice, Justice.

We granted certiorari to review rulings made by the Court of Appeals in Edwards v. Lampkin, 112 Ga. App. 128 (144 SE2d 119), wherein it was held that the notice to the nearest relatives of an alleged mental incompetent, required by Code Ann. § 49-604, was insufficient. Upon further consideration we have reached the conclusion that the rulings therein made are correct; hence the judgment of the Court of Appeals is

Affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Mobley, J., not participating for providential cause.
