Opinion

22271.

ARGUED JANUARY 15, 1964.

DECIDED JANUARY 22, 1964.

Receiving stolen goods. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alverson.

George G. Finch, for plaintiff in error.

William T. Boyd, Solicitor General, J. Walter LeCraw, J. Robert Sparks, contra.


Glenn R. Law, convicted of the offense of receiving stolen automobiles, brings the case to this court by writ of error. The bill of exceptions alleges this court has jurisdiction "by reason of the same involving the constitutionality of a State statute." No question as to the constitutionality of a statute of the State was raised in the trial court and no ruling was made in reference to such an issue. "Where it is sought to invoke a ruling by the Supreme Court on a constitutional question, the question must have been raised in the trial court and a ruling made thereon and the case brought to the Supreme Court for review." Loftin v. Southern Security Co., 162 Ga. 730 (3) ( 134 S.E. 760); Huiet v. Dayan, 194 Ga. 250 (1) ( 21 S.E.2d 423); Thompson v. Allen, 195 Ga. 733 (2) ( 25 S.E.2d 423); Boyers v. State, 198 Ga. 838, 842 (2) ( 33 S.E.2d 251); Calhoun v. State, 211 Ga. 112, 113 ( 84 S.E.2d 198). Therefore, the case must be Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

ARGUED JANUARY 15, 1964 — DECIDED JANUARY 22, 1964.
