Opinion

Broyles, C. J.

1. “Mere threats can not constitute duress.” Cox v. Cox, 159 Ga. 864 (127 S. E. 132) ; Augusta Motors Sales Co. v. King, 33 Ga. App. 433 (126 S. E. 866) ; Patrick v. Wood, 162 Ga. 137 (2) (133 S. E. 870), and cit.

2. The verdict in favor of the defendants was amply authorized by the [269]*269evidence, and the special grounds of the motion for a new trial show no cause for a reversal of the judgment.

Decided October 8, 1930. Rehearing denied November 11, 1930. Paul T. Chance, for plaintiff. J. Paul Stephens, for defendant.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
