FORBUS AND NICHOLSON v. THE STATE.

WELTNER, Justice.

We granted a writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals to consider whether a letter drafted by counsel for the appellants and delivered to the District Attorney reasonably might be construed as a demand for trial, so as to invoke the provisions of Code Ann. § 27-1901 under the standard of State v. Adamczyk, 162 Ga. App. 288 ( 290 S.E.2d 149) (1982). After consideration, we approve the holding in Adamczyk and find it applicable to this case. See Forbus v. State, 162 Ga. App. 307 ( 290 S.E.2d 559) (1982). It should be noted that Adamczyk is consistent with our recent holdings in McCarty v. State, 249 Ga. 618 ( 292 S.E.2d 700) (1982), State v. Madigan, 249 Ga. 571 (2) ( 292 S.E.2d 406) (1982), and State v. Meminger, 249 Ga. 561 (1) ( 292 S.E.2d 681) (1982).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Smith, J., who dissents.

WELTNER, Justice.
