Opinion of the Court

Fish, J.

1. The running and marking by processioners of a line between adjoining landowners, where no boundary line had been previously located and established, was without authority of law; accordingly the superior court had no jurisdiction of the case made by a protest filed to the return of the processioners fixing such new line.

2. As there was nothing to try, the refusal of a new trial was not erroneous. *871Direction is given that the whole proceeding be dismissed for want of jurisdiction over the subject-matter. Amos v. Parker, 88 Ga. 754.
