JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Conditions read in conjunction with official bonds.

- Former Code 1933, § 89-418 (see now O.C.G.A. § 45-4-24) providing that official bonds shall be for the benefit of persons injured by the principals must be read with the conditions of such bonds obligating the officials to well and truly perform the duties of their office, and refers to such liabilities as arise within the proper intendment of the obligation. Citizens' Bank v. American Sur. Co., 174 Ga. 852, 164 S.E. 817 (1932); Culpepper v. United States Fid. & Guar. Co., 199 Ga. 56, 33 S.E.2d 168 (1945).

Conditions on bond of county school superintendent.

- The bond of the county school superintendent was an official bond; and there being nothing in the law requiring it which prescribes a different condition, under former Civil Code 1910, § 278 (see now O.C.G.A. § 45-4-1) it was properly conditioned upon the faithful discharge of the duties of this office. Citizens' Bank v. American Sur. Co., 174 Ga. 852, 164 S.E. 817 (1932).
