54 Ga. App. 209 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1936
The petition alleged that the Atlanta Police Belief Association was indebted to the petitioner in the sum of $1000, plus interest from September 12, 1932, for the reason that her husband, G. A. Jenkins, was for many years before his death on August 21, 1932, a member of the Atlanta police force, and that sometime before August 9, 1928, the defendant association was organized by various members of the police force, having for its purpose the mutual benefit of its members and their benefici
Exceptions pendente lite were taken to the order just quoted, but they can not avail the plaintiff where it appears that she acquiesced in the ruling by offering an amendment in attempted compliance therewith. “If the petitioner was of the opinion that his petition was sufficient without amendments, he should have stood upon it as originally drawn, and he could have then excepted to any adverse judgment affecting his rights under the petition as it was written before amendment.” Barley v. Horton, 149 Ga. 605 (101 S. E. 680); Baker v. Calloway, 167 Ga. 908 (147 S. E. 562); Farrer v. Edwards, 144 Ga. 553 (87 S. E. 777); Lavenden v. Haseman, 157 Ga. 275 (121 S. E. 646). By meeting the ruling of the court by amending, he waives the right to except to the ruling that his pleadings are open to attacks made by the demurrer. Therefore exceptions pendente lite to such order do not raise any question for adjudication. The court having held that the petition was subject to demurrer, and having provided for its dismissal on failure to amend to meet the demurrer, and the amendment having failed to supply the deficiencies pointed out, the judge did not err in afterward dismissing the action.
Judgment affirmed.
