- When a writing has been admitted to record upon the probate of an alleged notary, and it is proved that the minutes fail to show an order appointing the notary, the burden is upon the party offering the writing to show that the alleged officer was legally appointed. Perry v. Kennon, 16 Ga. App. 545, 85 S.E. 821 (1915).
- Because former Code 1933, § 24-2713 (see now O.C.G.A. § 15-6-59) provided that the powers and duties of a deputy clerk shall be the same as those of the clerk, under former Code 1933, § 71-101 (see now O.C.G.A. § 45-17-1.1) a deputy clerk may appoint a notary public in the same manner as the clerk; no other person would have this authority. 1958-59 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 60.
