29 Ga. App. 591 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1923
1. The overruling of a motion to dismiss an attachment is such a judgment as may be directly excepted to under section 6138 of the Civil Code, (1910), and a bill of exceptions complaining thereof is not subject to dismissal as being prematurely brought, although a replevy bond has been given' and the cause is still pending in the court below upon the declaration in attachment. Sutherlin v. Underwriters’ Agency. 53 Ga. 443 (3); Bruce v. Conyers, 54 Ga. 678 (2); Brown v. Massman, 71 Ga. 859; Falvey v. Adamson, 73 Ga. 493, 498; Hanjaras v. Kilpatrick, 7 Ga. App. 464 (67 S. E. 120); Ray v. Hicks, 146 Ga. 685 (92 S. E. 48).
2. A magistrate' has no jurisdiction to issue an attachment on Sunday, unless, in addition to complying with the other provisions of the code, the plaintiff, his agent or attorney at law, shall swear “ that he has reason to apprehend the loss of the debt unless process of attachment do issue on Sunday” (Civil Code (1910), § 5065); but “the omission to give the court jurisdiction in the pleadings [in this case the attachment affidavit] is amendable (Civil Code (1910), § 5691), where “the actual facts existing at the time ” the attachment was issued make “ the case one within the jurisdiction of the court.” Stovall v. Joiner, 10 Ga. App. 204 (73 S. E. 22). Accordingly, where an attachment was issued on Sunday upon an affidavit which omitted the additional oath required by the code section first above mentioned, the proceeding was not void on
Judgment affirmed.
