That question, in substance, was certified by this court to the Supreme Court, and that court answered that he could not. For the full decision of the Supreme Court see Wall v. Lewis, 192 Ga.
652 ( 16 S. E. 2d, 430 ). Under the above-stated ruling the judge erred in rendering a judgment for the defendant.
Judgment reversed.
