107 Ga. 494 | Ga. | 1899
This case originated in the court of ordinary, upon a citation issued at the instance of Charles Smith, as guardian of certain minor heirs, against M. L. Arendale, for a settlement of his accounts as administrator of their deceased father. On appeal to the superior court, the case was referred to an auditor, to whose report both parties filed exceptions. After passing upon the legal sufficiency of these exceptions and submitting to a jury certain questions of fact thus raised, the' court below rendered a final judgment in favor of the plaintiff. To this judgment, and also to various rulings made by the judge below, Arendale excepted.
We have carefully reviewed the evidence introduced before the auditor, and the portions of the same, together with the conclusions therefrom, which are material to a proper and final
The bill of exceptions contains a number of assignments of error not dealt with or alluded to in the foregoing discussion; but as the decision herein announced disposes of a controlling issue in the case and practically puts an end to the whole controversy, we deem it unnecessary to pass upon any of the other points raised by the plaintiff in error.
Judgment reversed.
