JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Section does not violate constitutional removal procedures.

- Statute authorizing the Governor to vacate the commission of defaulting tax collectors is not inconsistent with Ga. Const. 1868, Art. IX (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. I, Para. III) which provides that the county officers shall be removable on conviction for malpractice in office. State ex rel. Lennard v. Frazier, 48 Ga. 137 (1873).
