Head Matter:
Ayers v. Franklin County.
No. 15294.
October 5, 1945.
G. F. Martin and J. B. G. Logan, for plaintiff.
A. C. Carson and George L. Goode, for defendant.

Opinion:
Duckworth, Justice.
The Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction to review a judgment sustaining a demurrer to a petition against Franklin County seeking only a judgment, because of personal injuries, in the amount of $20,000. Code, § 2-3005. Nor does the fact that the plaintiff in error excepts to such judgment upon the ground that it offends article 1, section 1, paragraph 2 and article 7, section 6, paragraph 2 of the constitution (Code, § 2-102, 2-5402) confer jurisdiction upon the Supreme Court. The exception does not require a construction of the provisions of the constitution, but requires merely an application of such provisions, and the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction. Code, § 2-3009; Wynn v. State, 178 Ga. 193 (172 S. E. 565); Head v. Edgar Brothers Co., 187 Ga. 409 (200 S. E. 792); Chastain v. Alford, 191 Ga. 677 (13 S. E. 2d, 769).
Transferred to the Court of Appeals.
All the Justices concur.
