James v. State of Georgia
James v. State of Georgia
Opinion of the Court
The State constitution (Code, § 2-3005) clearly and explicitly defines the "jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. The pleadings and evidence in this ease do not involve such constitutional questions as bring it within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court; nor are there equitable or other grounds that would *73 give tlie Supreme Court jurisdiction in tliis case. It is simply a procedure at law, and the motion for new trial invokes an application of constitutional provisions to the judgment of the trial court. Of all such questions the Court of Appeals, and not this court, has appellate jurisdiction. Edwards v. McNair, 152 Ga. 486 (110 S. E. 280) ; Norman v. State, 171 Ga. 527 (156 S. E. 203) ; Williford, v. State, 184 Ga. 59 (190 S. E. 605) ; Sanders v. State, 186 Ga. 335 (197 S. E. 801) ; Lunsford v. State, 187 Ga. 162 (199 S. E. 808).
