No. 11930 | Ga. | Sep 15, 1937
“A writing purporting to be a certificate approving tbe recitals in a bill of exceptions, but fatally defective by reason of the fact that the judge does not unqualifiedly certify that the recitals of fact contained in the bill of exceptions' are true, is absolutely void, and, in legal potency and effect in the creation of a writ of error, amounts to no more than a refusal by the judge to affix his name to the certificate which constitutes a writ of error.” Barker v. Peoples Loan & Savings Co., 178 Ga. 464 (173 S.E. 704" date_filed="1934-02-17" court="Ga." case_name="Barker v. Peoples Loan & Savings Co.">173 S. E. 704) ; Eady v.
