McCranie v. Gaskins

| Ga. | May 16, 1917

Eish, O. J.

1. On the trial of an ejectment suit evidence was introduced by both parties. ' The plaintiff claimed as grantee under a sheriff’s deed, delivery of which was disputed. The sheriff’s sale was under an execution based upon a judgment rendered against a garnishee who had previously owned the land. After service of the summons of garnishment, and before the rendition of judgment, the garnishee sold and conveyed the land to a third person upon a valuable consideration. There was no evidence to impeach the validity of the conveyance from the garnishee; and as it was necessary, in order to recover, to show title in the garnishee at the time of the judgment, there was no error in directing a verdict for the defendant.
