    STEMBRIDGE v. SLOAN et al.
    
    Decided January 14, 1942.
    
      Marion W. Stembridge, for plaintiff.
    
      Marion Ennis, for defendants.
   Gardner, J.

The plaintiff in error petitioned for a writ of certiorari to review certain alleged errors arising on the trial of issues based on a distress warrant, levy, counter-affidavit, etc. The court granted the petition. The justice answered, which answer was not traversed. Neither' the petition for the writ nor the answer of the justice disclosed that any final judgment was entered in the ease in the justice’s court, and made a part of the petition or the answer. The petition for the writ of certiorari contained numerous assignments of error on various rulings of the court as to the admissibility of evidence, etc., but none on a final judgment in the case.

Without reference to the sufficiency of the assignments of error on rulings during the progress of the trial and before the verdict was returned, in the absence of an assignment of error in the petition for certiorari on a final judgment rendered by the justice of the peace in favor of the defendants in error, the petition for the writ was fatally defective. The court did not err in dismissing the writ. Cain v. Jett, 42 Ga. App. 597 (157 S. E. 225); Starnes v. Bacon, 25 Ga. App. 260 (3) (103 S. E. 39); Sullivan v. Levy, 26 Ga. App. 319 (106 S. E. 19); City of Tallapoosa v. Brock, 143 Ga. 599 (2) (85 S. E. 755).

Judgment affirmed.
