Savannah & Northwestern Railway v. Brinson

Opinion of the Court

Beck, J.

(After stating the foregoing facts). We are of the opinion that the demurrer should have been sustained. There is no prayer for the reformation of the deed; and as it stands it is too uncertain and indefinite to afford a basis for specific performance. If the reservation in the deed is a valid one, there is no *814necessity ■ for the execution of any conveyance by the defendant ■in order to give the plaintiff the benefit of the reservation.

Judgment reversed.

By five Justices, all concurring.
