JUDICIAL DECISIONS

This chapter is not in violation of Ga. Const. 1976, Art. I, Sec. II, Paras. I or III (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. I, Sec. I, Para. II and Art. I, Sec. II, Para. I) on the ground that the public interest is affected, in that prosecutions will be instituted for the sole purpose of building up this fund. There is no merit in this contention for the reason that the public officers are presumed to do their duty. Cole v. Foster, 207 Ga. 416, 61 S. E.2d 814, 1950 Ga. LEXIS 490 (1950).
