On Motion for Rehearing.
Ingram, Justice.
Appellee argues vigorously, in a motion for rehearing, that he was discharged in violation of the city code and that the Personnel Review Board of the city failed to give him a meaningful hearing. The decisive factor remains, however, that all of these issues could have been raised by a writ of certiorari to the superior court. Certainly, a writ of mandamus could correct any alleged harm done, but so also could a writ of certiorari. Since certiorari was available, mandamus will not lie. Lindsey v. Bd. of Commrs. &c. of Colquitt County, 169 Ga. 368 (150 SE 261) (1929).

Motion for rehearing denied.
