Harrelson v. Gowin

This is an appeal by the defendant from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $1,830 and costs.

Wayne Gowin and Clarence Manley filed an action against Ralph Harrelson in the Circuit Court of Houston County claiming that on July 31, 1974 Harrelson had represented to them that Harrelson was the lawful owner of a 1972 Oldsmobile four door Cutlass and, based on that representation, they had purchased the vehicle for $1,830. The complaint further alleged that the vehicle purchased was actually a 1971 Oldsmobile and by such misrepresentation Harrelson had breached his warranty of title.
