White v. Noland
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided February 11, 1957 · Head
213 Ga. 19; 96 S.E.2d 598; 1957 Ga. LEXIS 282

White v. Noland

Opinion of the Court

Head, Justice.

The bill of exceptions recites that the cause is brought to this court because it “involves a constitutional question.” If any decision is required on a constitutional question, as alleged, it would involve only the application in a general sense of an unquestioned and unambiguous provision of the Constitution to a given state of facts. The Court of Appeals, and not the Supreme Court, therefore, has jurisdiction of the writ of error. Giles v. State, 212 Ga. 465 (93 S. E. 2d 739), and citations.

Transferred to the Court of Appeals.

All the Justices concur. Robert J. Noland, Solicitor-General, James I. Parker, Assistant Solicitor-General, contra.
