ARGUED MARCH 14, 1967.
DECIDED MARCH 23, 1967.
Appellate procedure. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Harrison.
John R. Calhoun, for appellant.
Joseph B. Bergen, Newell Edenfield, for appellee.
The judgment appealed from is one sustaining a general demurrer to the answer and cross claim of the defendant (appellant), and is not an appealable judgment. Code Ann. § 6-701 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18); Dove v. Maxwell, 184 Ga. 460 (1) ( 191 S.E. 916); Cook County v. Thornhill Wagon Co., 186 Ga. 835 (1) ( 199 S.E. 117) and cases cited; Sanders v. Sanders, 212 Ga. 244 ( 91 S.E.2d 604); Seaton v. Redisco, Inc., 113 Ga. App. 256 (2) ( 147 S.E.2d 828); Birdwell v. Pippen, 113 Ga. App. 202 ( 147 S.E.2d 673). It follows that the appeal is premature and must be dismissed. Code Ann. § 6-809 (b 2) (Ga. L. 1965, pp. 18, 29; 1965, pp. 240, 241; 1966, pp. 493, 500).
Appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur.
