Wash v. First National Bank
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided November 16, 1896 · Lumpkin
99 Ga. 592; 27 S.E. 167

Wash v. First National Bank

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, Justice.

This case is, in principle, controlled by the decision of this court in Horne v. Powell, 88 Ga. 631. The writer there undertook to state the true rule which should govern in such calles, and to give the reasons upon which that rule is founded. What was said in support of the decision then pronounced applies with equal force to the case at bar, the facts of which bring it squarely within the operation of the rule in question. Judgment affirmed.
