AIKEN v. RICHARDSON; et vice versa.
17375.
17380.
HEAD, Justice.
Money rule. Before Judge Andrews. Fulton Superior Court. November 20, 1950.
1. "Jurisdiction is not vested in the Supreme Court merely because it is contended that an action or judgment is or would be contrary to some provision of the Constitution." City of Waycross v. Harrell, 186 Ga. 833, 834 (199 S. E. 119); Head v. Edgar Brothers Co., 187 Ga., 409 (200 S. E. 792); White v. State, 196 Ga. 847, 849 (27 S. E. 2d, 695).
2. "A constitutional question can not be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court. Where it is sought to invoke a ruling by the Supreme Court on a constitutional question, the question must have been raised in the trial court and a ruling made thereon and the case brought to the Supreme Court for review." Loftin v. Southern Security Co., 162 Ga. 731 (3) (134 S. E. 760), and cases cited. Assignments of error upon constitutional questions which are raised for the first time in the bill of exceptions can not be considered by this court. Dunaway v. Gore, 164 Ga. 219, 221 (138 S. E. 213); Bell v. Bell, 193 Ga. 291 (18 S. E. 2d, 473); Thompson v. Allen, 195 Ga. 733 (25 S. E. 2d, 423).
3. In this case there is no attack upon the constitutionality of any statute. By exceptions pendente lite (upon which error is assigned in the main bill), the plaintiff in error attacked certain orders, or judgments of the trial court as being violative of stated provisions of the Constitution. No constitutional question having been made in the trial court, and the case not otherwise being within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, this court does not have jurisdiction of the write of error, and they are, accordingly,
Hugh Dorsey and Jones, Williams, Dorsey & Kane, contra.
G. Seals Aiken, Jay D. Bradley, and Ben F. Sweet, for plaintiff in error.
Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur. MARCH 12, 1951. REHEARING DENIED MARCH 20, 1951.
