JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Civil Code 1895, § 2554 and former Code 1933, § 49-225 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

There were no exceptions to rule established by former Code 1933, § 49-225 (former O.C.G.A. § 29-2-47). Clark v. Great Am. Ins. Co., 387 F.2d 710 (5th Cir. 1967), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 825, 89 S. Ct. 86, 21 L. Ed. 2d 95 (1968) (decided under former Code 1933, § 49-225).

Sureties upon bond are estopped to deny guardianship of one who was guardian by estoppel. Griffin v. Collins, 125 Ga. 159, 53 S.E. 1004 (1906) (decided under former Civil Code 1895, § 2554). Griffin v. Collins, 122 Ga. 102, 49 S.E. 827 (1905) See also.
