Hall v. Johnston

Supreme Court of Georgia
May 8, 1950
59 S.E.2d 382 (Ga. 1950)

Opinion

17060.

MAY 8, 1950.

Petition for injunction. Before Judge Renfroe. Bulloch Superior Court. January 18, 1950.

Deal Bacon, for plaintiff.

B. H. Ramsey Sr., for defendant.


The petition alleges that the defendant has served the plaintiff with notice of intention to institute dispossessory proceedings to oust her from the premises, which she alleges that she has title to and which she has never rented from the defendant; and the prayer is for injunction only to prevent the threatened dispossessory proceedings and for general relief. The exception here is to a judgment sustaining a demurrer and dismissing the petition. Clearly the petition fails to allege grounds for the intervention of equity, and was subject to the general demurrer. Flynn v. Merck, 204 Ga. 420 ( 49 S.E.2d 892).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

No. 17060. MAY 8, 1950.
