On Motion for Rehearing.
Counsel for respondent have filed a motion for rehearing, requesting that a specific ruling be made upon their motion to dismiss the writ of certiorari. While we made no specific ruling upon the motion to dismiss in this case, as has been done in other cases (Bunch v. McLeskey, 173 Ga. 545, 546 (1), 161 S. E. 128; St. Paul-Mercury Indemnity Co. v. Idov, 210 Ga. 256, 78 S. E. 2d 799; Russell v. Corley, 212 Ga. 121, 91 S. E. 2d 24), the decision rendered in the case reversing the judgment of the Court of Appeals was in effect the overruling of the motion to dismiss. Since counsel desires a specific ruling thereon, we hold that the question presented by the petition for certiorari is, in our opinion, one of gravity and importance; the certiorari was not improvidently granted, and the motion to dismiss the writ is denied. The motion for rehearing is likewise denied.
