Opinions

Felton, J.

1. Where an auditor overrules general and special demurrers to a petition and reports his findings to the judge, and exceptions of law thereto are overruled and the ease recommitted to the auditor for trial, a writ of error assigning error upon the overruling of the exceptions of law to the auditor’s report, there having been no exception to a final judgment, is premature and the writ of error must be dismissed. Taylor v. Taylor, 186 Ga. 667 (198 S. E. 678) ; Jordan v. Harber, 182 Ga. 621 (186 S. E. 670) ; Fouche v. Harrison, 78 Ga. 359(3); Wever v. Miniger, 186 Ga. 671 (198 S. E. 671).

Decided October 17, 1938. Rehearing denied November 17, 1938. Smith <& Smith, for plaintiffs in error. Jones, Jones & Sparles, W. II. Key, contra.

2. Leave is granted to the plaintiff in error to file the exceptions in the court below as exceptions pendente lite. Taylor v. Taylor, supra; Johnson v. Holmes, 150 Ga. 195 (103 S. E. 157) ; Armor v. Stubbs, 150 Ga. 520 (104 S. E. 500).

Writ of error dismissed, with direction.
