THOMASON V. BESCHER
97 S.E. 654 (1918)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the effect of a seal on a writing. Bescher (D), sellers, challenged a judgment entered for Thomason (P), buyer and assignee, in an action to enforce specific performance of a contract to sell timber.
FACTS: On June 18, 1917, Bescher (D) executed a writing under seal and for $1 that gave Thomason (P) an option to buy timber for a deed and tender $6,000 cash on or before August 18,1917. P then notified D that he would take the timber and pay the $6,000 the following week. A day before the actual tender on June 23, 1917, D notified P that the option given was withdrawn. P sued for specific performance. The jury found that the $1 had never been paid and that P was able and willing to buy the property. The trial court gave P an order of specific performance. D appealed.
