175 Ga. 168 | Ga. | 1932
(After stating the foregoing facts.) We concur in the judgment dismissing the petition upon the ground stated by the judge. lie held that the words “house and lot known as 290 Hillyer Ave. (on cor. Hillyer & Napier Ave.)” were entirely too vague and indefinite in any paper appertaining to a conveyance of real estate, or an interest in real estate. It will be noted that it does not appear where the house and lot known as 290 Hillyer Avenue is located. -It might be in Bibb County, and it might be in any one of the other 158 counties of this State. It might be in a foreign State, for all that appears in the contract. The fact that the two contracting parties are both residents of Bibb County does not imply that the lot which is the subject-matter of the contract is in the county of Bibb, or the State of Georgia. Very frequently parties have transactions with reference to realty which is not in the county of the residence of either of the contracting parties. So far as appears from the petition, the contract may have been executed in the city of Atlanta and appertain to real estate in that city, where the names attributed to both of the streets are well known.
Judgment affirmed.
