Pittman v. Dorsey
25 Ga. App. 596
Ga. Ct. App.
1920
Check Treatment
Stephens, J.

1. Motions for continuance being addressed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, and the evidence in this case adduced upon the hearing of a motion for continuance being conflicting, the trial judge did not err in refusing to continue the case.

2. Where a scire facias issues against a principal and a surety upon a forfeited recognizance, the mere tender of additional bail, unaccepted and unapproved, is no defense against a final judgment. See, in this connection, Penal Code (1910), § 960; Griffin v. Moore, 2 Ga. 331; Williams v. Jenkins, 53 Ga. 166.

3. The trial judge, without the intervention of a jury, properly entered judgment absolute against the principal and the surety.

Judgment affirmed.

Jenkins, P. J., and Smith, J., concur.
