• Court: Georgia Supreme Court

69 Ga. 747

MCCORD, executor, v. HARDEN.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

November 14, 1882

September Term, 1882.

Where one who desires to move for a new trial departs from the strict law, and procures an order allowing him thirty days from the adjournment of court within which to file an approved brief of evidence, he should comply literally with such order. Where no brief was approved and filed within thirty days, and no providential or other good cause was shown, the motion for new trial should have been dismissed, on motion, when called for a hearing. To file an unapproved brief is not a compliance with the order. 68 Ga. 815; 57 Id., 193.

SPEER, Justice.
