18 S.E.2d 478; 193 Ga. 269; 1942 Ga. LEXIS 376 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Allman v. Aldredge

Opinion of the Court

Reij>, Chief Justice.

This court having held, in a habeas-eorpus proceeding brought by the plaintiff, that her conditional pardon never became effective, for the reason that she did not, as a matter of law, tender the sum upon the payment of which the pardon was conditioned, within a reasonable time, and that the judge of the court in which she was convicted was authorized to issue a warrant for her arrest for the service of her sentence (Allman v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 431, 15 S. E. 2d, 710), this is conclusive of the present petition for mandamus to compel the sheriff to accept payment of the money tendered after issuance of the warrant, which raises the same questions adjudicated in the habeaseorpus proceeding. Code, § 110-501.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur. *270 John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, Bond Almand, W. S. North cutt, E. H. Bheais, Spalding, Sibley, Troutman & Brock, for defendant.
