Appeal and Error (§ 70*)—Dismissal of Writ—Final Judgment.

Except in cases specially provided for by statute, this court has no jurisdiction to consider a writ of error until after final judgment in the court below. Accordingly, where a plea of res adjudicata was filed to a suit brought to recover the amount alleged to be due on a promissory note, and the plea was stricken on demurrer, and direct exceptions were taken to this court from the judgment striking the plea, the writ of error will be dismissed.
