Shealy v. McClung & Dykes
Supreme Court of Georgia
(Signed) “ Cook & Crisp, Defendant’s attorneys.” Counsel for plaintiffs in error proposed to show by his own affidavit, that the date of the acknowledgment of service was a mistake; that such acknowledgment was, in fact, given subsequent to the certificate of the Judge. This the Court refused to permit. He then insisted that if the service was defective, it was cured by the terms of the acknowledgment.
1Opinion of the Court
1. Where the acknowledgment of service on the bill of exceptions antedates the certificate of the Judge thereto, the writ of error will be dismissed. (R.)
*4862. The acknowledgment of service upon the bill of exceptions cannot be shown to bear a wrong date by aliunde proof. (R.)
3. An acknowledgment “of due and legal service,” and a waiver “of copy and all other and further service,” does not cure a defective service, which arises from the fact of an attempted service before the certificate of the Judge was attached to the bill of exceptions. (R.)
