Augusta Southern Railway Co. v. City of Tennille
Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided March 29, 1904PublishedCited by 6 opinions
Petition. Before Judge Holden. Washington superior court. 'March 5,1903.
1Opinion of the CourtTurner, J.
1! The act of December 15,1900, incorporating the City of Tennille, in express terms declares that no suit shall be brought against that municipality save in its corporate name, to wit: “The City of Tennille.” Acts of 1900, p. 448. sec. 3.
2. It follows that a petition brought, apparently, with a view to seeking relief ■ as against that municipal corporation, but in which process is prayed against the “Mayor and Council of the City of Tennille, a corporation,” is not maintainable. Boon v. Mayor & Council of Jackson, 98 Ga. 490; Town of Dexter v. Gay, 115 Ga. 765. Judgment affirmed.
