Floyd et al. v. Bell.
    
    No. 15767.
    April 19, 1947.
    Rehearing denied May 16, 1947.
    
      D. W. Krauss, for plaintiffs.
    
      Gowen, Conyers & Dickey, for defendants.
   Wyatt, Justice.

“A plaintiff in ejectment must recover on the strength of his own title, and not on the weakness of the defendant’s title.” Code, § 33-101. Taken as a whole, the evidence adduced on the trial of this ejectment suit was too vague and indefinite to show title in the plaintiffs, by virtue of inheritance, through parties dying years ago; and the trial court did not err, at the conclusion of evidence offered by both sides, in directing a verdict for the defendant, who, according to the plaintiffs’ evidence, had been in possession of the premises for a long number of years prior to the institution of the suit. Anderson v. Robinson, 75 Ga. 375 (2).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
