Duckworth, Chief Justice.

Where, as here, the amended petition, compromising some eighteen pages, sought to enjoin an administrator’s ‍‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍sale of land under an order of the ordinary, solely because the order and citation described a boundary of the land as being bounded on the south by lands of the petitioner, ‍‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍instead of the original land lot line, and stated that there were 440 acres, more or less, instead of 326 acres, more or less — the alleged threatened injury being that such ‍‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍description would confuse the location of the dividing line, thereby allowing the defendant purchaser to encroach upon the petitioner’s land to make up the difference in acreage and create a cloud on ‍‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍his title — no cause of action is alleged, and the exception here to the judgment dismissing the amended petition on demurrer is without merit. See Code, § 113-1714; Hanesley v. Bagley, 109 Ga. 346 (34 S. E. 584); Porter v. LaGrange ‍‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍Bank &c. Co., 187 Ga. 528 (1 S. E. 2d, 441).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Atkinson, P.J., not participating.
