DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.
This is an action for mandamus to require the municipal authorities of the City of Fairburn to re-issue a revoked beer license for the year 1964 which expires in January 1965. The exception is to the denial of the petition after a hearing. Under Code Ann. § 58-716 (Ga. L. 1935, p. 76) the license is an annual license, and since the period of time for which the license would be effective expired in January 1965, the case thereupon became moot. Abernathy v. Dorsey, 189 Ga. 72 ( 5 S.E.2d 39); Cravey v. Bankers Life Cas. Co., 209 Ga. 273 ( 71 S.E.2d 659).
Writ of error dismissed. All the Justices concur.
ARGUED FEBRUARY 9, 1965 — DECIDED FEBRUARY 18, 1965.
