Broyles, C. J.

In the criminal court of Atlanta the accused was convicted of a misdemeanor, under an accusation charging ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‍him with engaging in the business of making loans of credit in amounts of $300 and less, and of charging thereon more than 8 per cent, interest per annum, without having first secured .a license from the ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‍State banking department; the accusation being based on the “sinall-loan act” (6a, L, 1920, p. 215, sections 1? 18). The de~ *478fendant obtained a writ of certiorari from the superior court of Fulton county, and upon the hearing ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‍thereof the certiorari was overruled. Upon a careful consideration of the petition for certiorari and the exhibits thereto, and the various assignments of error in the petition, this court is of the opinion that the verdict was ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‍amply authorized, if not demanded, by the evidence, and that none of the special assignments of error in the petition shows cause for a reversal of the order of the judge of the superior court overruling the ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‍certiorari. See, in this connection, Crowe v. State, 44 Ga. App. 719 (162 S. E. 849).

J udgment affirmed.
