Wade, J.
This case is controlled by the decision in Cheshire v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 16 Ga. App. 790 ( 86 S. E. 405 ), where it was held that “The authority of the appellate division of the municipal court of Atlanta on a motion for-a new trial is limited to ‘sustaining or overruling said motion.’ Acts 1913, p. 169, sec. 42 (f). The appellate division is without authority to render a final judgment in a cause when, upon the hearing of a motion for new trial, the verdict and the judgment of the trial judge entered thereon are set aside.”
Judgment reversed.
