Head Matter:
18679.
Rawdin v. Conner et al.
Argued September 13, 1954
Decided October 11, 1954.

Opinion:
Duckworth, Chief Justice.
Where, as here, on the return of the remittitur in the case of Rawdin v. Conner, 210 Ga. 508 (81 S. E. 2d 461), in which there was a judgment of reversal but no express direction of this court to the lower court, the case stands as reversed, and a new trial must be had on the issues therein raised since the case illegally terminated. The court did not err in denying the petitioner's motion to enter a final decree in his favor without a de novo trial. Code § 70-402; Schley v. Schofield & Son, 61 Ga. 528; Fennell v. Fennell, 210 Ga. 153 (78 S. E. 2d 524); American Associated Companies v. Vaughan, 210 Ga. 141 (2) (78 S. E. 2d 43).
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
Congdon, Harper & Leonard, J. Walker Harper, for plaintiff in error.
W. D. Lanier, contra.
