Patterson v. Bailey

Supreme Court of Georgia
Sep 8, 1966
150 S.E.2d 645 (Ga. 1966)

Opinion

23599.

SUBMITTED JULY 12, 1966.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1966.

Location of land line. Wilkes Superior Court. Before Judge Stevens.

Lawson E. Thompson, for appellant.

Walton Hardin, for appellee.


The plaintiff brought an action for land and mesne profits against the defendant. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff. This appeal is from a judgment overruling defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and from a judgment denying his motion for a new trial. Appellant states in his brief that the real issue is the dividing line between the parties' respective adjacent tracts, and the evidence introduced on the trial shows that the parties are coterminous landowners, that neither disputes the title of the other to his respective tract, and that the only issue between them is the proper location of the boundary line between their respective tracts. Such being the case, the Court of Appeals and not this court has jurisdiction of the appeal. Johnson v. Woodward Lmbr. Co., 202 Ga. 288 ( 42 S.E.2d 639); Brydie v. Pritchard, 213 Ga. 588 ( 100 S.E.2d 435); and Mote v. Seitz, 219 Ga. 208 ( 132 S.E.2d 79).

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED JULY 12, 1966 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1966.
