PIKE v. ANDREWS

Supreme Court of Georgia.
Oct 10, 1951

DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.

This petition to set aside a judgment rendered by the Superior Court of Fulton County during the January-February term, 1951, was filed May 22, 1951, and, hence, at a subsequent term. It is not addressed to the court but to a judge thereof, and it neither prays for nor has attached thereto a process. It seeks to set aside a judgment upon alleged grounds of fraud, and not for any defect that appears on the face of the judgment dismissing the petition on demurrer. Held:

The petition is a nullity and was properly stricken on demurrer. Jackson v. Jackson, 199 Ga. 716 (2) ( 35 S.E.2d 258); Plunkett v. Neal, 201 Ga. 752 ( 41 S.E.2d 157); Morris Plan Bank of Georgia v. Hadsall, 202 Ga. 52 ( 41 S.E.2d 881).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

No. 17573. ARGUED SEPTEMBER 12, 1951 — DECIDED OCTOBER 10, 1951 — REHEARING DENIED NOVEMBER 16, 1951.
