1Opinion of the CourtHill, C. J.

1. The court did not err' in excluding from evidence the original papers of foreclosure proceedings in a justice’s court. Original records of one court ordinarily are not admissible in evidence in a different court, but certified copies of such papers constitute primary • evidence. Civil Code (1910), § 5799; Georgia Engineering Co. v. Horton, 135 Ga. 58 (3) (68 S. E. 238), and cit.

2. The evidence demanded the verdict as directed by the trial judge.

Judgment affirmed.
