- Nothing in this chapter (especially Ga. L. 1914, p. 142, § 6 (see now O.C.G.A. § 36-8-3)) which authorizes the appointment of county police officers, insofar as the statute may undertake to fix the liability of the sureties upon a county officer's bond, changes the general law as contained in former Civil Code 1910, § 291 (see now O.C.G.A. § 45-4-24).
