137 Ga. 495 | Ga. | 1912
1. In Fulton County v. Amorous, 89 Ca. 614 (3), 615 (16 S. E. 201), it was held: “One in possession of land under a bond for titles from the true owner, with purchase-money partly paid, is the owner of the freehold relatively to all persons except the maker of the bond and those claiming under him.' In case the premises are taken or damaged
(a) In view of such holding, the court did not err in admitting in evidence a conveyance from the true owner to the plaintiff, who was in possession of the land under a bond for title, with the purchase-money partly paid; such conveyance having been made pending the action and passing the absolute title in fee simple.
2. The demurrers to the petition were so manifestly without merit that it is unnecessary to specifically deal with them. There was evidence to support the verdict, and the court did not err in refusing to grant a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
