Undercofler, Justice.

Petitioner for habeas corpus complains that his conviction for burglary was erroneous ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‍because of the admission of testimony of a witness whose name did not appear on the list of witnesses furnished to him. This issue was passed ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‍upon by the Court of Appeals and the trial court held it could not review that decision. See Elrod v. State, 128 Ga. App. 250 (196 SE2d 360). Held:

The trial ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‍court properly remanded petitioner to custody of the warden. Petitioner’s entire proof in that court consisted of the record reviewed by the Court of Appeals ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‍and its decision. After an appellate review the same issues will not be reviewed on habeas corpus. Herring v. Ault, 230 Ga. 398 (197 SE2d 354); Alexander v. Luzier, 229 Ga. ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‍434 (192 SE2d 160); Young v. Caldwell, 229 Ga. 653 (193 SE2d 854).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
