Opinion of the Court

Broyles, O. J.

1. The petition as amended was defective in that it failed to allege that the bridge claimed to have been in disrepair was erected after the passage of the act approved December 29, 1888 (Ga. L. 1888, p. 39); and it should have been dismissed on the general demurrer interposed. Butts County v. Johnson, 136 Ga. 354 (71 S. E. 428) ; Salter v. Decatur County, 15 Ga. App. 687 (84 S. E. 162).
