This court has no jurisdiction of a bill of exceptions which, though assigning error upon rulings made pendente lite, does not in any manner except to a final judgment.
Practice in the Court of Appeals.
Submitted October 15,
Decided December 9, 1907.
Rehearing denied December 20, 1907.
Bennet & Conyers, Pope & Bennet, for plaintiff in error.
Jesse W. Walters & Son, contra.

Opinion:
Russell, J.
At the trial in September, the judge overruled demurrers to the declaration and refused a nonsuit, to which rulings exceptions pendente lite were duly preserved by the defendant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff; the defendant made a motion for a new trial, which was heard and overruled in April following the trial. The bill of exceptions neither excepts to nor assigns error upon the order overruling the motion for a new trial. The failure to assign error upon the final judgment is not fatal, but the failure to except thereto is. Lyndon v. Ga. Ry. & Elec. Co., 129 Ga. 354 (58 S. E. 1047). The writ of error, therefore, not being such as to confer jurisdiction upon this court, must be.
Dismissed.
