Opinion of the Court

Sxjtton, J.

1. Where a bill of exceptions fails to show on its face who is defendant in error, the writ of error must, on motion, be dismissed. Edwards v. Wall, 153 Ga,. 776 (113 S. E. 190); Fowler v. Wheeler, 176 Ga. 189 (167 S. E. 107); Emmanuel Farm Co. v. Batts, 176 Ga. 552 (168 S. E. 316); Malsby v. Shipp, 177 Ga. 54 (169 S. E. 308); Poteet v. Beaver, 180 Ga. 383 (178 S. E. 721); Vandivere v. Smith, 183 Ga. 326 (188 S. E. 540); Federal Deposit Ins. Cor. v. Thompson, 54 Ga. App. 611 (188 S. E. 737).

2. An acknowledgment of service of the bill of exceptions by an attorney of record in the trial court, as attorney for named parties, will not cure the defect above stated. Poteet v. Beaver; Vandivere v. Smith, supra.

Writ or error dismissed.

Stephens, P. J., and Pellon, J., concur.
