McComb v. Hines

51 S.E. 300, 123 Ga. 246, 1905 Ga. LEXIS 428

Opinion

Fish, P. J.

1. The Supreme Court will not review the evidence in a case when it is apparent that there has been no bona fide effort to brief the evidence as required by law, and when the document purporting to be a brief of the evidence is extensively interspersed with objections to testimony, statements, motions, and arguments of counsel, rulings of the court, evidence to which objections were sustained, and also with colloquies between counsel and court; none of which could properly have been placed in a brief of evidence.
