Opinion:
Little, J.
1. If an original application for a writ of certiorari be for any reason void, an attempted renewal thereof within six months must he ' held to be ineffectual. Williamson v. Wardlaw, 46 Ga. 126 ; McClendon v. Hernando Co., 100 Ga. 219.
2. The certiorari originally sued out, of which it is claimed the presentís a renewal, has been judicially declared absolutely void. Hamilton v. Phenix Ins. Co., 107 Ga. 728.

Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concurring.
