Johnson v. Jones
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided February 15, 1882 · Speer
68 Ga. 825

Johnson v. Jones

Opinion

1. A verdict in an ejectment case that “we, the jury find for the plaintiff,” is, in effect, a finding in favor of the plaintiff for the premises in dispute, and the property being sufficiently described in the declaration, the verdict is not void for uncertainty. 17 Ga., 340.

2. Prior lawful possession of land alone is sufficient to support an action of ejectment against a mere intruder who takes possession by force, and who shows no better title. Code, §3014.
