Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Constitutionality. - Former Civil Code 1910, §§ 473-475 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 36-3-22 - 36-3-24) were not violative of Ga. Const. 1877, Art. I, Sec. I, Para. XXIII (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. I, Sec. II, Para. III) as an attempt to confer judicial power upon the Secretary of State. Early County v. Baker County, 137 Ga. 126, 72 S.E. 905 (1911), 10 Ga. App. 305, 73 S.E. 352 (1912). Mandamus cannot dictate where boundary line to be located. - Trial
court erred by granting a county mandamus relief in a county boundary line dispute action pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 36-3-20 et seq., because while mandamus was authorized to compel the Georgia Secretary of State to do certain tasks, it was not authorized to dictate where the boundary line was to be located.
