106 Ga. 510 | Ga. | 1899
The Scottish American Mortgage Company brought suit against Annie Gannon for $4,520, besides interest, upon certain promissory notes given by the latter to the former. Pe-
It will be noted that there is no allegation in the plea that the lender authorized the charge made by its attorneys for examining the titles, or that it had any knowledge of the same, or that it shared in the fee paid by the borrower. Under the ruling of this court in McLean v. Camak, 97 Ga. 804, the plea insisted upon by the defendant below constituted no legal defense to the action. The court, therefore, did not err in sustaining the demurrer to the defendant’s plea. See also Merck v. Mortgage Co., 79 Ga. 213-229-232; Hughes v. Griswold, 82 Ga. 299-308; Sanders v. Nicolson, 101 Ga. 739 (2).
Judgment affirmed.
