1Opinion of the Court

Head, Justice.

In all cases where it may appear that jurisdiction of a writ of error is in doubt, it is the duty of the Supreme Court to determine the question of its jurisdiction. Dade County v. State of Ga., 201 Ga. 241 (39 S. E. 2d, 473). The jurisdiction of this court is fixed by the Constitution, art. 6, sec. 2, par. 4 (Code, Ann. Supp., § 2-3704); and jurisdiction not specifically fixed by the Constitution upon the Supreme Court is conferred upon the Court of Appeals. City of Trenton v. Dade County, 201 Ga. 189 (39 S. E. 2d, 473).
