51 Ga. 600 | Ga. | 1874
It appears from the record in this case that Strickland filed a bill against Wynn to enjoin him from interfering with the possession of a lot of land in Heard county. Wynn answered the bill, and in his answer, in the nature of a cross-bill, alleged that he had purchased the land from Strickland for $550 00, paid part of the purchase money, and offered to pay the balance that might be due, and prayed that Strickland might be decreed to make him a deed to the land. Before the trial of the case Strickland died, and his administrators were made parties. On the trial, there was a good deal of evidence introduced by the respective parties as to whether there had been a sale of the land or not, and as to the amount paid for it by the defendant, Wynn, and in what the payments had been made, the defendant contending that he had made payments in lumber, wheat and money, etc., which he sought to prove in part by the introduction of his book of account
Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed.
