36 Ga. App. 200 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1926
A trover suit for a certain windmill was brought against J. R. Logan and his wife. The'testimony in the case discloses that Logan borrowed money from an insurance company, and secured the loan by a security deed to certain land, to which, at the time of the execution of the deed, the windmill was attached as a part of the realty; that subsequently, while Logan was in possession of the land, he detached the windmill and moved it over upon lands owned by his wife. He defaulted in payment of his notes, and under a power of sale in the security deecL the property was sold, and the bid was transferred to Greer, who brought this suit. The defendants pleaded that, the windmill having been moved prior to the sale of the land conveyed in the security deed and while Logan was in possession of the land, the title to the windmill and the right to sell the same was divested from the grantee in the security deed. To support this contention they relied upon the cases of Colquitt County Land Co. v. Rowell, 30 Ga. App. 738 (119 S. E. 223), Boswell v. Ivie, 31 Ga. App. 807 (122 S. E. 97), and Dobbs v. Bell Laundry, 25 Ga. App. 734 (105 S. E. 53). The verdict was in favor of Greer, for the money value of the windmill. A motion for a new trial was overruled, and the movants excepted.
íhe evidence amply authorized the verdict. The cases referred to above are by their particular facts distinguishable from the case under consideration. The grantor in the security deed and
None of the special grounds of the motion for a new trial are meritorious, and, the verdict being authorized by the evidence, the court properly overruled the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
