1. “Where a party relies on the law of another State as furnishing the basis for a right of recovery or defense different from what it would be under the laws of this State, or the common law, the law of the foreign State should be pleaded and proved.” Independent Order of Puritans v. Cadden, 25 Ga. App. 27 (102 S. E. 454); Southern Express Co. v. Manato, 134 Ga. 445 (7) (67 S. E. 944, 137 Am. St. R. 227). Mere reference to the volume and section of the compilation in which it is alleged the law appears is not sufficient. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. v. Barton, 14 Ga. App. 160 (80 S. E. 530).
