Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided June 3, 1899PublishedCited by 13 opinions

Motion to dismiss writ of error.

1Opinion of the CourtSimmons, C. J.

Where in the certificate to a bill of exceptions the judge certifies that the hill of exceptions, “as modified by note of judge,” is true, and such note shows that the bill of exceptions is in large part not true, the writ of error must be dismissed, as this court has no jurisdiction to consider a bill of exceptions which has not been duly certified by the judge to be entirely true. Hawkins v. Americus, 102 Ga. 786, and cases cited. Writ of error dismissed.

All the Justices concurring.
