Loan of demonstrator automobile by dealer to prospective purchaser creates bailment.

- Where an automobile dealer lends a demonstrator automobile to a prospective purchaser for the purpose of allowing such purchaser to test and operate it, under an oral agreement that the purchaser is to return the automobile at the end of two days in the same condition, less reasonable wear and tear, as the automobile was when delivered to the potential purchaser, this constitutes the purchaser being a bailee. Warren v. Mitchell Motors, Inc., 52 Ga. App. 58, 182 S.E. 205 (1935).

Loan of whiskey on promise of similar return is sale.

- The loan of a specified quantity of whiskey obtained by the borrower for the borrower's own consumption, on a promise to return to the lender a similar quantity of the same kind of liquor, is a "sale" rather than a mere bailment. Skinner v. State, 97 Ga. 690, 25 S.E. 364 (1896); Huby v. State, 111 Ga. 842, 36 S.E. 301 (1900).

Failure to define terms in jury charge not error.

- Failure to explain in a charge to the jury the meanings of the terms "for consumption," "specie," and "in kind" as used in O.C.G.A. § 44-12-110 is not an error. Foote v. Kelley, 126 Ga. 799, 55 S.E. 1045 (1906).
