Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Whether one is a livery stableman within O.C.G.A. § 44-14-406 is a question of fact. Elliott v. Hodgson & Jackson, 133 Ga. 209, 65 S.E. 405, 1909 Ga. LEXIS 190 (1909). Lien includes care and feeding of horse. - The lien under O.C.G.A. § 4414-406 includes not only the actual feed-

ing of the horse but also such charges as are directly connected with the liverystable keeper’s keeping and as are naturally in the line of a livery-stable keeper’s business. Elliott v. Hodgson & Jackson, 133 Ga. 209, 65 S.E. 405, 1909 Ga. LEXIS 190 (1909).
