JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Inquiry as to chargeability.

- Under this section, until there has been some inquiry into the circumstances of the poor who will be treated as paupers and who shall become chargeable to the county, no persons can be properly said to be so chargeable. Justices of Inferior Court v. Chapman, 16 Ga. 89 (1854) (see O.C.G.A. § 36-12-1).
