(No. 19044.)

Court of Appeals of Georgia,

Division No. 1.

July 31, 1928.

(Syllabus by Editorial Staff.)

Error from Superior Court, Burke County; A. L. Franklin, Judge.

Arthur Vaughn brings error. Writ of error dismissed.

Fullbright & Burney, of Waynesboro, for plaintiff in error.

Geo. Hains, Sol. Gen., of Augusta, and John M. Graham, of Atlanta, for the State.

Syllabus Opinion by the Court.

BLOODWORTH, J. In McElroy v. State, 123 Ga. 546, 51 S. E. 596, it was held:

"Until there has been a judgment finally disposing of the case in the trial court, the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to pass upon an assignment of error complaining of the striking of a plea of former jeopardy, filed by the accused. Fugazzi v. Tomlinson, 119 Ga. 622 , and citations."

The ruling in that case is controlling in this. See Civil Code (1910) § 6138; High-tower v. State, 22 Ga. App. 276, 95 S. E. 873; Head v. Jordan, 33 Ga. App. 170, 125 S. E. 733; Johnson v. Merchants' & Farmers' Bank, 141 Ga. 721, 81 S. E. 873.

Writ of error dismissed.

BROYLES, C. J., and LUKE, J., concur.
