Head Matter:
UNITED STATES LEATHER COMPANY et al. v. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GAINESVILLE et al.
Failure to make a person interested in sustaining a judgment excepted to a party to the hill of exceptions, and to serve such person with a copy thereof, results in a dismissal of the writ of error.
Argued March 23,
Decided April 20, 1899.
Motion to dismiss writ of error.
J. G. Boone, Johnson & Dorsey and J. J. Strickland, for plaintiffs in error.
George K. Looper, Dean & Hobbs and W. B. Sloan, contra.

Opinion:
Lumpkin, P. J.
The only matter litigated upon the trial below was whether or not certain mortgages were valid. A verdict sustaining them was returned. The losing party made a motion for a new trial, and excepted to a judgment overruling the same. Mrs, C. E. Finger, as transferee, was part owner and holder of one of these mortgages, and was a party to the case. She is therefore certainly interested in sustaining the judgment under review, but was not made a party to the bill of exceptions or served with a copy of the same. Accordingly, the motion made here to dismiss the writ of error must be sustained. Civil Code, § 5547; Craig v. Webb, 70 Ga. 188; Knox v. McCalla, Ibid. 725; Crosthwait v. James, 95 Ga. 570; Inman v. Estes, 104 Ga. 645, and eases cited; Augusta Bank v. Merchants Bank, 104 Ga. 857; White v. Bleckley, 105 Ga. 173.
Writ of error dismissed.
Ali the Justices concurring.
