Opinion

21388.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 12, 1961.

DECIDED OCTOBER 9, 1961.

Habeas corpus. Tattnall Superior Court. Before Judge Durrence.

Jesse D. Martin, Jr., pro se. B. Daniel Dubberly, Jr., Eugene Cook, Attorney-General, Earl L. Hickman, Assistant Attorney-General, contra.


The assignment of error in the bill of exceptions is that the trial judge erred in refusing to sanction a petition for the writ of habeas corpus. The petition was not incorporated in the bill of exceptions or otherwise verified by the judge. Accordingly, as ruled in the case of Blanchard v. Balkcom, 217 Ga. 334, the writ of error must be

Dismissed. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 12, 1961 — DECIDED OCTOBER 9, 1961.
