JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Vacancy in office created by failure to file bond.

- When an election for Commissioner of Madison County, a legislative office, was held in November, at which an incumbent was reelected to such office, it was the incumbent's duty to file an official bond with the ordinary (now probate judge) on or before January 1; and, upon the incumbent's personal failure to do so, a vacancy in the office resulted. Compton v. Hix, 184 Ga. 749, 193 S.E. 252 (1937).
