JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Former Code 1933, §§ 89-9907 and 89-9908 (see O.C.G.A. § 45-11-4), dealing with malpractice in office, must be construed with former Code 1933, § 27-2509 (see O.C.G.A. § 17-10-13). When thus construed, former Code 1933, §§ 89-9907 and 89-9908 meant that any of the officers charged with the offense therein named shall, upon a legal conviction in a court having jurisdiction, be punished as for a misdemeanor and removed from office. Cargile v. State, 67 Ga. App. 610, 21 S.E.2d 326 (1942).
