Head Matter:
Fender v. Hendley.
No. 14454.
March 10, 1943.
E. B. Smith, Elsie H. Griner and William Storey, for plaintiff in error.
I. H. Corbitt and L. J. Courson, contra.

Opinion:
Grice, Justice.
1. There being no allegation in the petition that the plaintiff is in possession of the land, but on the contrary the petition containing an averment that the defendant therein fails and refuses to yield possession to plaintiff, who is alleged to be the owner thereof, it was erroneous to enjoin the defendant from in any manner interfering with the possession of the plaintiff in and to the land in question, for the reason that the injunctive order was mandatory in its nature, and not within the proper scope of the writ of injunction. Code, § 55-110; Brown v. Toole, 150 Ga. 196 (2) (103 S. E. 226); Cannon v. Montgomery, 184 Ga. 588 (3) (192 S. E. 206); Slaughter v. Land, 190 Ga. 491 (2) (9 S. E. 2d, 754); Braswell v. Palmer, 191 Ga. 262 (4) (11 S. E. 2d, 889).
2. Since the foregoing ruling is .controlling, the remaining assignments of error, all of which relate to rulings on the evidence, deal with questions which do not affect the result, and therefore need not be considered.
Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concur.
