George, J.
Under the decision in Barlow v. Americas, 146 Ga. 805 (92 S. E. 643), the municipal ordinance under which the plaintiff in error was tried arid'convicted is void; and the court erred in overruling the certiorari, the validity of the ordinance being directly attacked in the petition for certiorari.
