Smith v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the CourtFelton, J.
The plaintiff sought to introduce a bill of sale on the automobile in question executed to it by J. 0. Wallace. However, the court excluded this document from evidence because of insufficient description of the automobile contained therein. The only evidence dealing with the transaction between the plaintiff insurance company and Wallace was his testimony that he sold the automobile to the insurance company for $1,800.
