O'CONNOR et al. v. EDMONDS et al.

HEAD, Justice.

1. "A plaintiff in ejectment must recover on the strength of his own title, and not on the weakness of the defendant's title." Code, § 33-101; Fullbright v. Neely, 131 Ga. 342, 344 ( 62 S.E. 188); Barfield v. Birrick, 151 Ga. 618 ( 108 S.E. 43); Blalock v. Bell, 172 Ga. 313 ( 157 S.E. 696); Nelson v. Brown, 174 Ga. 150 ( 162 S.E. 276); Tapley v. Claxton, 195 Ga. 61 ( 23 S.E.2d 426).

2. The plaintiffs' claim of title in this case can not be sustained, since the allegations of the petition and the plaintiffs' evidence fall squarely within the rulings made in Williams v. O'Connor, ante. The defendants' claim of title was supported by some evidence, and the court did not err in directing a verdict for the defendants.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

No. 17390. ARGUED FEBRUARY 12, 1951 — DECIDED APRIL 9, 1951 — REHEARING DENIED MAY 16, 1951.
