Marchant v. City of Tifton

Opinion of the Court

Lewis, J.

In a writ of error from a judgment of the superior court refusing-to sanction a petition for certiorari, it is necessary that a copy of the petition for certiorari be embodied in the bill of exceptions, or attached thereto and verified by the judge. The judge having refused to sanction the petition, the same can not be lawfully filed, and could not be brought up as a part of the record of the case. Lake v. Kellum, 99 Ga. 130.

Writ of error dismissed.

All the Justices concurring.
