Richardson v. State

157 S.E. 625, 172 Ga. 482, 1931 Ga. LEXIS 124

Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided March 11, 1931·No. No. 8153·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Atkinson, J.

A general demurrer to an indictment was overruled, and the defendant excepted. After the ease was brought to the Supreme Court an order was granted, upon motion of the solicitor-general for the State, quashing the indictment. The case having been disposed of favorably to the defendant in the trial court, a decision by this court would be useless, and the writ of error is dismissed. Atlanta & West Point R. Co. v. Golightly, 148 Ga. 582 (97 S. E. 516), and cit.

Writ of error dismissed.

All the Justices concur.
