Head Matter:
Yendes, Appellee, v. Shaw, Appellant, et al.
(No. 1955
Decided September 10, 1947.)
Messrs. Beigel & Mahrt, for appellee.
Mr. T. L. Barger, for appellant.

Opinion:
Wiseman, ,P. J.
This cause is submitted on motion to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the order appealed from is not a final order.
The defendant, appellant herein, filed three separate defenses and a cross-petition. The trial court sustained -a demurrer to the second and third defenses and the cross-petition. The defendant not desiring to plead further, the second and third defenses and the cross-petition were dismissed. -
An order sustaining a demurrer without dismissing the action is not a final order, as the court may grant leave to amend. National Guarantee & Finance Co. v. Russell, 25 Ohio Law Abs., 483. However, an order' sustaining a demurrer to the second and third defenses and cross-petition and dismissing the defenses and cross-petition is a final order under the provisions of Section 12223-2, General Code, from which an appeal may be taken. Latham v. Ransome Concrete Machinery Co., 13 Ohio Law Abs., 63; Morehead v. Central Trust Co., Exr., 54 Ohio App., 9, 5 N. E. (2d), 932. The motion to dismiss the appeal is overruled.
Motion overruled.
Miller, and Hornbeck, JJ., concur.
