This is the third appearance of this ease. Coffey v. Cobb, 140 Ga. 661 (79 S. E. ‍​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍568); Id. 143 Ga. 539 (85 S. E. 693). It was error to overrule the ground of demurrer that the plaintiff failed to allege that ‍​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍she made permanent improvements on the land sued for, before filing her original petition, and subsequent!}’ to the time when the relation of landlord ‍​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍and tenant between- herself and W. E. Coffey terminated, and after the relation of vendor and vendee existed, and while she held possession ‍​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍as such. The judgment is reversed, with direction that the demurrer be sustained unless the petition is so amended as to cure this ‍​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍defect-before the call of the case.
