Byrd v. State
Byrd v. State
Opinion of the Court
(After stating the foregoing facts.) If the Supreme Court has jurisdiction of the present writ of error, it is because of the motion to quash the accusation, and especially *234 because of the language in the fourth ground, which is set forth in full in the statement of facts. This motion does not involve the construction of the constitution of Georgia, or- of the United States, ¡or of a treaty between the United States and a foreign government; nor does it draw in question the constitutionality of any law of the State of Georgia, or of the United States. Therefore the Supreme Court is without jurisdiction to pass upon the question raised in the motion to quash the accusation, which merely involves the application of a provision of the constitution of this State. Nor. does any question raised in .the motion for new trial invoke the jurisdiction of this court. Therefore the case is transferred to the Court of Appeals. Code, § 2-3005; Cowart v. State, 177 Ga. 377 (170 S. E. 253); Keeney v. State, 182 Ga. 523 (186 S. E. 561); Head v. Edgar Brothers Co., 187 Ga. 409 (200 S. E. 792); Chastain v. Alford, 191 Ga. 677 (13 S. E. 2d, 769).
Transferred to the Court of Appeals.
