Opinion of the Court — Felton

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Felton, J.

1. For one maliciously and without justifiable cause to induce one to break a contract with another to the latter’s damage is actionable. Luke v. Dupree, 158 Ga. 590 ( 124 S. E. 13 ). Accordingly, a petition substantially so alleging, without alleging how the contract would benefit the petitioners, or in what particular they would be damaged, stated a cause of action as against a general demurrer. Further and more detailed allegations, if desired, should have been called for by special demurrer. Code, §§ 81-1301, 81-1302.

2. A petition which fails to show jurisdiction of the person of the defendant, by failing to allege that she is a resident of the county in which the suit is brought, is not subject to a demurrer which does not specifically point out that defect. Burton v. Wadley Southern Ry. Co., 25 Ga. App. 599 (2), 605, ( 103 S. E. 881 ) ; Rose v. Mines, 25 Ga. App. 791 ( 104 S. E. 784 ).

Judgment reversed.

Stephens, P. J., and Sutton, J., concur.
