Bulman v. King

94 S.E.2d 865, 212 Ga. 661, 1956 Ga. LEXIS 485

Opinion

Head, Justice.

1. “The sworn statement contained in the motion to dismiss, not being denied or otherwise responded to, will be taken as true.” Jones v. Jones, 207 Ga. 698 (63 S. E. 2d 895). The only question and subject matter of the cause having become moot by the actual holding of the election, a reversal of the judgment sustaining the general demurrers to the amended petition would be ineffectual, and the motion to dismiss the writ of error must be sustained. Smith v. Jeffries, 188 Ga. 649 (4 S. E. 2d 637); Abernathy v. Dorsey, 189 Ga. 72 (5 S. E. 2d 39); Brockett v. Maxwell, 200 Ga. 38 (35 S. E. 2d 906); Davison v. City of Summerville, 204 Ga. 748 (51 S. E. 2d 820); Rentz v. Moody, 204 Ga. 784 (51 S. E. 2d 838); Cravey v. Bankers Life &c. Co., 209 Ga. 273 (71 S. E. 2d 659); Fountain v. Grant, 211 Ga. 62 (84 S. E. 2d 61).
