Matthews v. Delta Southern Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Whitfield, C. J".,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The complainant was clearly entitled to a lien on the land described in the deed for $25 and interest. The appellee, through its agent, Morgan, got the land, and equity will not permit it to hold it without paying the value agreed on.

The decree is reversed, the demurrer overruled, and the cause remanded, for answer within thirty days from the filing of the mandate in the court below.
