152 Ga. 267 | Ga. | 1921
This was a suit for specific performance. The plaintiff prayed for a decree requiring the administratrix of his mother, Mrs. Grace A. Bentley, to execute a deed to the premises in dispute. He based his contention that he was entitled to the execution of such a deed and to specific performance on the ground that his mother had, in consideration of love and affection and the past services rendered by the plaintiff and the agreement on his part to perform certain other services set forth in the petition, made a parol contract to convey to him certain lands. The jury upon the trial of the case returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. The defendant made a motion for a new trial, which was overruled, and he excepted.
Inasmuch as the ease is remanded for a new trial, no opinion is expressed as to the sufficiency of the evidence.
Judgment reversed.
