Alandamus. Before Judge Lumpkin. Fulton superior court. November 12, 1903.
The defendant in error was indicted for a felony, and was found guilty, with a recommendation that she be punished as for a misdemeanor. The court stenographer took down the testimony in shorthand, but, under a practice obtaining in such cases at the time, declined to transcribe his notes into longhand for use in preparing a brief of evidence to be filed with a motion for new trial. A mandamus absolute, requiring him to do this, is the ruling excepted to.
