Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided January 27, 1896·Published·Cited by 17 cases

Opinion

Atkinson, J.

1. The declaration, as it appears in the record, without amendment, sets forth a cause of action, and the general demurrer thereto was properly overruled.

2. The office of a demurrer is to test the legal sufficiency of ^a declaration upon the facts as they are therein alleged; and being so limited, its scope cannot, by an agreed statement of facts which neither amends nor purports to amend the declaration, be extended to cover questions which might arise upon a motion for nonsuit upon a statement of facts otherwise than by the declaration appearing. Judgment affirmed.
