murrer to be amended is not a final judgment,
nor is a judgment allowing the amendment.-

traversed, verdict rendered against the traverse.
and a motion for new trial overruled, a writ
of error did not lie.-Du Vall v. Brogden (Ga.)
404.

Under Civ. Code 1895, § 5526, no cause can
be carried to the Supreme Court on bill of
exceptions while the case is pending below, un-
less the judgment complained of, if rendered
as claimed, would have been a final disposi-
tion of the cause.-Du Vall v. Brogden (Ga.)
404.

Until final judgment no interlocutory ruling
can be reviewed.-Mathews v. Rountree (Ga.)

423.

The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to
pass on an assignment of error on overruling

mandamus, where the trial court holds that the
answer raised a question of fact and refers the
issue to the jury.-Mineral Bluff Board of Edu-
cation v. City of Mineral Bluff (Ga.) 577.

fusal to sustain a motion to make a mandamus
