Turner v. Willingham
Supreme Court of Georgia
Equitable petition. Before Judge Ellis. Eulton superior court. July 6, 1917.
1Opinion of the CourtGeorge, J.
1. Under repeated rulings of this court, a judgment overruling a demurrer can not be made a ground of a motion for new trial; but direct exception should be taken to such ruling, if a review of it is to be had. Hawkins v. Studdard, 132 Ga. 265 (63 S. E. 852, 131 Am. St. R. 190).
2. A judgment overruling a general demurrer to a petition, unless excepted to and reversed, is an adjudication that the petition sets forth a cause of action; and the court may not by indirection deprive the plaintiff of the estoppel he is entitled to urge as against the defendant. Sims v. Ga. Ry. & El. Co., 123 Ga.…
