Barfield v. Hilton

Undercofler, Presiding Justice.

This appeal involves a parol inter vivos gift of land. The jury found a gift had been made and rendered a verdict for the donee. The trial judge disagreed and granted a judgment n.o.v. The donee appeals. The critical question is whether there is evidence to support the jury’s verdict that there was a promise to give by the donors. Milton v. Milton, 192 Ga. 778 (16 SE2d 573) (1941).

This is the third appeal of this case. See Barfield v. Hilton, 232 Ga. 235 (206 SE2d 1) (1974); Barfield v. Hilton, 235 Ga. 407 (219 SE2d 719) (1975).
