Jackson v. Augusta Southern Railroad

Supreme Court of Georgia July 3, 1906

Jackson v. Augusta Southern Railroad, 125 Ga. 801 (Ga. 1906)

54 S.E. 697; 1906 Ga. LEXIS 282

Evans

Opinion of the Court

Evans, J.

In order to render a promissory note a sealed instrument, it must be so recited in the body of the note. The mere addition of a seal after the signature of the maker is insufficient. Civil Code, §3765; Chambers v. Kingsberry, 68 Ga. 828; Ridley v. Hightower, 112 Ga. 479; Echols v. Phillips, 112 Ga. 700.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Eish, C. J., absent.
