Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
