5 S.E.2d 750 | Ga. | 1939
1. Construction of contract granting easement of ingress and egress for removal of cut timber.
2. Injunction against lessee's use of new road truck trail otherwise than defined and limited by judge's interlocutory order was not erroneous.
1. The quoted provision of the contract relating to ingress and egress, as set forth above, had reference to such "full and complete" ingress and egress as should be reasonably necessary to the enjoyment of the estate granted, including removal of the timber. It was the grant of an easement, and was not so exclusive as to prevent the lessor or his assigns from thereafter constructing on his lands a new road and his exclusive individual use thereof, where such new road and use would not substantially interfere with enjoyment of the easement of ingress and egress granted to the lessee and his assigns. In the brief of the attorney for the plaintiff in error it was stated substantially that the controlling question turned upon construction of the contract.
2. The judgment complained of applied the law to the pleadings and the evidence, and gave effect to the contract as properly construed. The grant of injunction was not erroneous. SeeHanbury v. Woodward Lumber Co.,
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
