Tucker v. Wimpey
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided May 13, 1926 · Hill, Russell
162 Ga. 238; 133 S.E. 263; 1926 Ga. LEXIS 151

Tucker v. Wimpey

Dissenting Opinion

Russell, C. J.,

dissenting. In my opinion it was error to direct a verdict. The law of this case was fixed in its previous appeai'ance in the 158 Ga. 820. As pointed out at that time by the court, the infirmity of the defendants’ case is in the writing which they urged as color. This infirmity can not be cured by oral testimony.

Opinion of the Court

Hill, J.

This is the third appearance of this case in this court (Tucker v. Wimpey, 155 Ga. 118, 116 S. E. 315; Tucker v. Wimpey, 158 Ga. 820, 124 S. E. 692) ; but on the last trial the evidence was different from what it was on the other trials, and required the verdict for .the defendants, directed by the court.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Russell, O. J., dissenting.
