Mahaffey v. State

83 S.E. 795, 15 Ga. App. 483, 1914 Ga. App. LEXIS 303

Opinion

Broyles, J.

Where a misdemeanor was tried in a city court, and from the judgment therein a certiorari was taken to the superior court, and, upon the overruling of the certiorari, the defendant excepted, the hill of exceptions should have been served upon the solicitor-general of the cir cuit, instead of upon the solicitor of the city court. It appearing in this case that the solicitor-general was not so served, and did not acknowledge or waive service, the writ of error must be dismissed. McColers v. State, 74 Ga. 411; Butts v. State, 90 Ga. 450 (16 S. E. 96) ; Moore v. State, 96 Ga. 309 (22 S. E. 760) ; MeElhannon v. State, 112 Ga. 221 (37 S. E. 402) ; Culbreth v. State, 115 Ga. 242 (41 S. E. 594) ; Glenn v.
