GRICE, Justice.

We granted certiorari to review rulings made by the Court of Appeals in Edwards v. Lampkin, 112 Ga. App. 128 ( 144 S.E.2d 119), wherein it was held that the notice to the nearest relatives of an alleged mental incompetent, required by Code Ann. § 49-604, was insufficient. Upon further consideration we have reached the conclusion that the rulings therein made are correct; hence the judgment of the Court of Appeals is

Affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Mobley, J., not participating for providential cause.

ARGUED OCTOBER 11, 1965 — DECIDED OCTOBER 20, 1965.
