Pray v. Pace

Bboyles, J. The answer to the petition alleged facts which, if proved, would have authorized a verdict for the defendant; and the demurrer, of course, admits the truth of all facts alleged in the pleading which it attacks. The answer was not subject to general demurrer; and, in the absence of a special demurrer, the court erred in striking the answer and in directing a verdict for the plaintiff. Judgment reversed. Pope & Bennet, for plaintiff in error, cited: 3 Ga. App. 665 (2), 671 (bottom), and cit.; 1 Ga. App. 5; 9 Ga. App. 758 (mid.); 7 Ga.
