Outlaw v. Outlaw

Supreme Court of Georgia
May 22, 1969
168 S.E.2d 163 (Ga. 1969)

Opinion

25175.

ARGUED MAY 12, 1969.

DECIDED MAY 22, 1969.

Year's support. Berrien Superior Court. Before Judge Lott.

Fred T. Allen, Fred L. Belcher, for appellant.

Elsie H. Griner, Edward Parrish, for appellee.


This case involves an appeal from the Court Ordinary of Berrien County to the superior court on a petition by the appellant here to set aside the grant of a year's support on the ground that the same was excessive. As such, it is no different from an appeal from denial of contentions made in a caveat to an application of the widow in the first instance. Such a case does not involve any question of title to land so as to confer jurisdiction of the appeal in this court. Harnesberger v. Davis, 208 Ga. 629 (1) ( 68 S.E.2d 585). See also Colley v. Atlanta W. P. R. Co., 156 Ga. 43 ( 118 S.E. 712); Griffin v. Securities Invest. Co., 181 Ga. 455 ( 182 S.E. 594); Miller v. Miller, 213 Ga. 435 ( 99 S.E.2d 129). The case therefore involving no question of which this court has jurisdiction, it is accordingly.

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

ARGUED MAY 12, 1969 — DECIDED MAY 22, 1969.
