Lead Opinion
Jackson, Judge.

Hill sued out a distress warrant, founded on no special lien, as landlord, upon the crop of defendant, but merely to enforce a general lien, to date from when the levy was made and entered, under section 4082 of the Code. The court dismissed the warrant because no demand or refusal to pay was made and avowed in the affidavit. None was necessary to enforce a general lien, as we decided in Buffington vs. Hilley, 55 Georgia Reports, 655. That case controls this.

Judgment reversed.
