Syllabus by the Court.
A promise to answer for the debt of another must be in writing, in order to bind the promisor. Civ. Code 1910, § 3222. This case falls squarely within the rule laid down in Harris v. Paulk, 10 Ga.App. 334, 73 S.E. 430, and Foote v. Reece, 17 Ga.App. 799, 88 S.E. 689, and is distinguished by the facts from the cases of Evans v. Griffin, 1 Ga.App. 327, 57 S.E. 921, and Palmetto Manufacturing Co. v. Parker, 123 Ga. 798, 51 S.E. 714, and Ferst Sons & Co. v. Bank of Waycross, 111 Ga. 229, 36 S.E. 773. Under the facts the court did not err in sustaining the certiorari.
Error from Superior Court, Emanuel County; R. N. Hardeman, Judge.
Action between Mrs. W. E. Bedingfield and A. J. Lamb. Judgment for the latter, and the former brings error. Affirmed.
T. N. Brown, of Swainsboro, for plaintiff in error.
I. L. Price and Saffold & Jordan, all of Swainsboro, for defendant in error.
Judgment affirmed.
