At any time within ten (10) days of the entry of the order forfeiting or refusing to forfeit such charter, the attorney general or the corporation may apply to the circuit court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, for a writ of certiorari, which, if granted, shall have the effect of transferring the record of the last proceeding to the circuit court. The circuit court, or the circuit judge in vacation, shall examine such record for errors of law. If the said court shall find no errors of law, the order shall be affirmed. If errors of law appear, the order shall be reversed and such reversal shall operate as a stay of such order, and the cause shall be remanded to the commission with directions for a new hearing, or dismissal, as the circuit court finds proper from the examination of the record.
