1Opinion of the CourtHill, J.

1. The only description of the property by a purchase-money note, which contained a reservation of title in the vendor and was re-1 corded, being “ One five-passenger Ford Touring Oar,” it was insuffi- ' cient to be the basis of bail-trover. McElhannon v. Farmers Alliance Warehouse Co., 95 Ga. 670 (22 S. E. 686); McLennan v. Livingston, 108 Ga. 342 (33 S. E. 974).

2. As between the seller and the original purchaser, parol evidence might be admitted to show that the property sued for was in fact the same described in the note, but such evidence is not admissible against a bona fide purchaser.…
