JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Section does not make overseer purchasing agent.

- This section is not to be construed as conferring upon an overseer implied legal authority to act as a purchasing agent so as to bind the overseer's employer. Render v. Hill Bros., 30 Ga. App. 239, 117 S.E. 258 (1923).

Overseer's statement as to fence admissible to prove adverse possession.

- By virtue of former Code 1868, §§ 2189 and 3721, the statement of the overseer of defendant, who was in possession on the land and managing the defendant's property for the defendant as the defendant's agent, as to the reason why a fence was located in a peculiar manner, was admissible to prove the adverse possession of the defendant. Doe v. Roe, 46 Ga. 593 (1872).
