Opinion

47017.

SUBMITTED MARCH 2, 1972.

DECIDED APRIL 3, 1972.

Trover. Gwinnett State Court. Before Judge Cheeley.

Merritt Pruitt, Glyndon C. Pruitt, for appellant.

Craig Vandeford, Darryl R. Vandeford, for appellee.

HALL, Presiding Judge.

The plaintiff appeals the dismissal of his bail trover petition for lack of service. The record contains no showing of personal service upon the defendant. The appellant contends that the filing of a bail bond by the defendant constitutes a waiver of service. We disagree. The posting of the bail trover bond does not amount to a general appearance. Hall v. C. J. Roehr Co., 10 Ga. App. 379 ( 73 S.E. 550); Morse v. Turner, 20 Ga. App. 108, 114 ( 92 S.E. 767); Gooch v. Appalachian Lumber Co., 123 Ga. App. 804 ( 182 S.E.2d 487).

Judgment affirmed. Pannell and Quillian, JJ., concur.

SUBMITTED MARCH 2, 1972 — DECIDED APRIL 3, 1972.
