Briscoe v. Holder
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided August 9, 1900 · Simmons
111 Ga. 877; 36 S.E. 960; 1900 Ga. LEXIS 877
Briscoe v. Holder

Opinion of the Court

Simmons, C. J.

The plaintiff showed a perfect paper title to the land in controversy, but the defendant showed a prescriptive title based on more than seven years adverse possession under written evidence of title. A verdict for the defendant was therefore demanded, and the court did not err in so directing. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
