Opinion

Bell, Justice.

This case originated by an application for the processioning of an alleged disputed land line, upon which application the processioners made a return in favor of the applicant. The adjoining landowner .filed a protest, in which, after making allegations as to the nature of the respective claims, she objected “to the foregoing proceedings for the reason the case is not a case for processioning and does not involve disputed land lines, but it is a case for ejectment involving title to an area of 25 acres of land between the two parties;” wherefore the protestant prayed that the return of the processioners be dismissed. The trial judge sustained an oral motion of the applicant to dismiss such protest, and directed a verdict in favor of the return. The protestant excepted, and the writ of error was returned to this court. Held, that neither the application nor the protest made a case “respecting title to land”; nor does the case otherwise come within the jurisdiction of this court. Accordingly, it must be transferred to the Court of Appeals. Ga. L. 1945, pp. 43-46, Constitution, article 6, section 2, paragraphs 4, 8, Code, Ann. Supp. 1945, §§ 2-3704, 2-3708; Code, chapter 85-16; Elkins v. Merritt, 146 Ga. 647 (92 S. E. 51); Firemen’s Insurance Co. v. Georgia Power Co., 181 Ga. 621 (183 S. E. 799); Byrd v. McLucas, 194 Ga. 40 (20 S. E. 2d, 597).

Transferred to the Court of Appeals.
