Head Matter:

Mahaffey v. The State.

Opinion:
Broyles, J.
Where a misdemeanor was tried in a city court, and from the judgment therein a certiorari was taken to the superior court, and, upon the overruling of the certiorari, the defendant excepted, the hill of exceptions should have been served upon the solicitor-general of the cir cuit, instead of upon the solicitor of the city court. It appearing in this case that the solicitor-general was not so served, and did not acknowledge or waive service, the writ of error must be dismissed. McColers v. State, 74 Ga. 411; Butts v.
