Applying the rule relating to negotiable instruments in Code ยง 14-906 that any material alteration of the instrument without the assent of all the parties thereon will void it without regard to fraudulent intent, and taking the narrow interpretation of this rule laid down in Cook v. Parks, 46 Ga. App. 749 ( 169 S.E. 208) and Williams v. F. S. Royster Guano Co., 67 Ga. App. 711 (2) ( 21 S.E.2d 349) to the effect that the procuring of a witness to sign an instrument is a material alteration regardless of any other circumstances, the question remains whether the overruling of the plea, if error, would require reversal. The plaintiffs first brought a bill of exceptions to this court assigning error only on this judgment, and we held that it was not a final judgment so as to be the subject of appeal. Van Norden v. Auto Credit Co., 107 Ga. App. 676 ( 131 S.E.2d 123). Upon the subsequent trial of the case the defendant testified that the whole contract was blank when they signed it, and further in answer to the question, "Your contention is not that you do not owe the money but simply the fact that the contract was notarized by someone not in your presence, is that correct?" he stated, "Well, as far as the notary is concerned, I'm not too much concerned about that.
There being no assignment of error on a final judgment in either case, the writs of error are premature and must be dismissed. Ethridge v. Quality Hatchery, Inc., 98 Ga.
