Rehearing Denied May 18, 1922.
Appeal from Petition for Certiorari to Circuit Court, Jefferson County; J. C. B. Gwin, Judge.
Proceeding by Sallie Steagall against the Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Company to recover under Alabama Workmen's Compensation Act for death of her husband, Alpha Steagall.

Tillman Bradley & Baldwin, of Birmingham, for appellant.
Hill Hill, Whiting & Thomas, of Montgomery, and Mathews & Mathews of Bessemer, for appellee.
On November 5, 1921, petitioner, by leave of the court, filed a paper writing, duly verified, in which, to use the language of the paper, she renewed her petition for compensation under the act, referring to and adopting her original petition, as amended October 23, 1920, and defendant's answer, and set out again the facts on which she based her claim. Defendant demurred and pleaded, to state the pleas in brief: (1) The statute of limitations of one year, as provided by section 20a of the act; (2) that petitioner's claim had been adjudicated by the order of October 23, 1920; (3) that no notice had been given as required by sections 19 and 20 of the act, unless a suit which had been brought (in common-law form, and which had been disposed of on demurrer) constituted notice. The court sustained a demurrer to defendant's "verified answer"-meaning the pleas above stated-and proceeded to hear the cause upon the verified petition, determined the facts in writing, and gave judgment for petitioner, and the defendant now, by certiorari, brings the cause here for review.
The contention on behalf of defendant (appellant) is, in substance, that the judgment of the court rendered October 23, 1920, dismissing the cause, was final, and the action could not be reviewed by subsequent proceedings; that the new action was barred by the statute of one year.
All necessary facts being admitted, the court, on October 23 1920,...
