Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Orders presumed valid. - Orders of court of ordinary (now probate court) are prima facie presumed to be valid. Wright v. Clark, 139 Ga. 34, 76 S.E. 565 (1912). Failure to order adjournment does not void another order. - Failure of the ordinary (now probate judge) or the ordinary’s clerk to make an entry of an order of adjournment of the court of ordinary (now probate court), granted at a regular term to some subsequent day,
where the business of the court requires it, does not render void an order passed for the sale of land, upon the petition of an administrator, provided such adjournment was duly ordered during the regular term of the court. Sutton v. Ford, 155 Ga. 863, 118 S.E. 747 (1923). Cited in Atlanta Cas. Co. v. Williams, 135 Ga. App. 562, 218 S.E.2d 282 (1975); Johnson v. Barnes, 237 Ga. 502, 229 S.E.2d 70 (1976).
