    Injunction — Practice in Supreme Court. — Where an injunction was refused by the Chancellor, and the case, by writ of error, was carried to the Supreme Court and the judgment reversed, and defendants then moved before the Chancellor to dissolve the injunction, which motion was overruled, such decision cannot be carried by bill of exceptions to the Supreme Court, within ten days, under the Act of October 28th, 18^0. (R.)
    Injunction. Practice in the Supreme Court. Before the Supreme Court. January Term, 1873.

      Bill of Exceptions — Certification—Waiver—Jurisdiction.—“A ‘fast’ bill of exceptions to the refusal of an injunction must be certified within twenty days from the rendition of the decision. If not so certified, the defect cannot be cured by certificate of the chancellor that he was absent from home until the day of the signing, nor can' a waiver give this court jurisdiction to try the case.” Sewell v. Edmonston, 66 Ga. 354, citing principal case; Ency. Dig. Ga. Rep., vol. 5, p. 395.
