Sumner v. Sumner.
    Argued November 25,
    Decided December 12, 1902.
    Motion to dismiss the writ of error.
    
      J. W. Walters and J. J. Forehand, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Sam. S. Bennet and Claude Payton, by Z. D. Harrison, contra.
   Fish, J.

A paper purporting to be a bill of exceptions, but not signed by the plaintiff in error or bis counsel when certified by the trial judge, is not a legal bill of exceptions, and can not, over objection, be amended in the Supreme Court by attaching counsel’s name thereto. Upon motion, it will be dismissed. Civil Code, § 5527 ; Speer v. Merryman, 56 Ga. 529; Wellborn v. Railroad Co., 92 Ga. 577; Cook v. Banks, 95 Ga. 229.

Writ of error dismissed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lumpkin, P. J., absent.
