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, 134 Am. St. R. 206 (1909).

Lien includes care and feeding of horse.

- The lien under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-406 includes not only the actual feeding of the horse but also such charges as are directly connected with the livery-stable 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, 134 Am. St. R. 206 (1909).
