No service of the bill of exceptions in this case was ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍made upon the defendant in error. Attached to the bill of exceptions is an acknowledgment of service signed, “Dempsey & Mills.” There is nothing in the ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍record to indicate who they are, or that they have ever had any connection whatever with the case, here or in the court ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍below. There was no appearance for the defendant in error. The bill of exceptions must be served upon the opposite party or his ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍attorney, or service of the same must be acknowledged. There being neither service nor acknowledgment thereof in the present case, we are constrained to ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍dismiss the writ of error. See Smith v. Eckles & Abercrombie, 65 Ga. 326.

Writ of error dismissed.
