Opinion of the Court — Felton

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Felton, J.

1. The power of a municipality to exercise police jurisdiction is delegated by the State, and the municipal corporation as a party to a criminal proceeding stands in the place of the State. Cranston v. Augusta, 61 Ga. 572 .

2. Prosecution for violation of an ordinance of a municipal corporation is a quasi criminal action, and a decision of the superior court reversing a judgment of a municipal court convicting one of a violation of a municipal ordinance is not subject to review by this court. Mayor &c. of Hawkinsville v. Etheridge, 96 Ga. 326 ( 22 S. E. 585 ); City of Valdosta v. Goodwin, 21 Ga. App. 664 ( 94 S. E. 812 ).

3. The Code, § 110-701, providing that a void judgment may be atta'eked in any court by any person, does not confer the right of appeal upon the State in a criminal action. State v. B’Gos, 175 Ga. 627 ( 165 S. E. 566 ).

Writ of error dismissed.
