Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided January 27, 1921 · Luke

26 Ga. App. 219; 105 S.E. 712; 1921 Ga. App. LEXIS 77

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

1. In trover no set-off by the defendant is allowable, unless equitable relief is sought in the pleadings. Youngblood v. Armour Fertilizer Works, 23 Ga. App. 731 (99 S. E. 314).

2. Under the above ruling, the verdict in favor of the defendant was unauthorized, and the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

3. The other alleged errors will not probably recur upon another trial.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, O. J., mid Bloodworth, J., concur.

Trover; from Lincoln superior court — Judge Walker. March 25, 1920.

Burnside & McWhorter, for plaintiff. C. J. Perryman, for defendant.
