88 Ga. 209; 14 S.E. 190; 1891 Ga. LEXIS 331

Evans v. Dial

Opinion of the Court

Judgment reversed.

Complaint for land was brought, the abstract of title relied on being a deed from Cyrus Dial and Aralinta Dial to the plaintiff, dated April 18, 1877. Cyrus Dial pleaded the general issue, and that the deed was given to secure an usurious debt not in writing, drawing interest at twelve per cent., entered into on April 18, 1877, and was therefore void. The verdict was for the defendant, and the plaintiff’s motion for a new trial was overruled.
