Indictment for murder; Before Judge Summerall. Charlton •superior court. June 15, 1917.
James R. Thomas, for plaintiff in error.
Clifford Walker, attorney-general, M. D. Dickerson, solicitor-general, and M. C. Bennet, contra.

Opinion:
Gilbert, J.
A motion to dismiss the bill of exceptions, made by the solicitor-general, must prevail in this case. It appears that counsel for the plaintiff in error mailed the bill of exceptions, after it had been duly certified, to the solicitor-general, who, upon receiving it in due course of mail, returned it, stating that he refused to acknowledge or waive service, because the bill of exceptions was not correct.' This was not such a sei'vice of the bill of exceptions as is contemplated by the statute. Civil Code (1910), § 6160; Crow v. State, 111 Ga. 645 (36 S. E. 858) ; Albritton v. Tygart, 139 Ga. 231 (77 S. E. 28).
Writ of error dismissed.
All the Justices concur, eoscept Pish, O. J., absent.
