Supreme Court of Georgia

121 S.E.2d 648 (Ga. 1961)

Opinion

21342.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 11, 1961.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 12, 1961.

Habeas corpus. Tattnall Superior Court. Before Judge Durrence.

Edgar Lee Nicholson, pro se. Eugene Cook, Attorney-General, Earl L. Hickman, Assistant Attorney-General, contra.


The only showing of service of the bill of exceptions is a certificate by plaintiff in error that he had served the defendant by mailing same. This clearly falls short of the requirement found in the statute ( Code Ann. § 6-911; Ga. L. 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., pp. 440, 456). The record thus showing a lack of service, the Supreme Court is without jurisdiction, and the writ of error must be dismissed. Walden v. Weston, 183 Ga. 276 ( 188 S.E. 335); Warnock v. Woodard, 183 Ga. 367 ( 188 S.E. 336).

Writ of error dismissed. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 11, 1961 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 12, 1961.
