36 Ga. App. 751 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1927
Only the first headnote needs to be enlarged upon. Each of the plaintiffs in error sought to bring his case to this court by pauper affidavit. The affidavit made by Williams, alias Adams, is as follows: “Georgia, Putnam County. Personally appeared before the undersigned Ambrosia Williams, alias Buddie Adams, one of the plaintiffs in error in the bill of exceptions filed in the case of Dock Bowden and Ambrosia Williams, alias Buddie Adams, and on oath says that he is, because of his poverty, unable to pay the costs in said case. (Signed) Ambrosia Williams, alias Buddie Adams, (by) his mark. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 18th day of January, 1927. L. M. Pennington, N. P. (Seal) L. M. Pennington, Notary Public Putnam county, Ga.” The affidavit made by Bowden is substantially the same as the foregoing, except that in it there is the additional statement that the case is “from Putnam superior court.” The headnote which we are discussing is a copy of the first headnote in Parks v. State, 110 Ga. 760 (36 S. E. 73). In discussing that case Justice Cobb said: “If the affidavit is not entitled in the cause, or if the name of the case does not appear in some part of the affidavit, or the statements made therein be not sufficient to indicate to what case the affidavit relates, it could not be used as a foundation for a prosecution for perjury, and for this reason it
Judgment affirmed.
