Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Probate judge had power to lease directly to individual certain realty for use in operating filling station as it was then being and had been used for 13 years, and such a lease, having been so executed by the ordinary (now probate judge), was not void on the ground that the lease was not authorized by law, or

that the interest thereby created extended beyond the term of the ordinary (now probate judge) then in office, or that it amounted to a commercial transaction in which the county was not authorized by law to engage. Black v. Forsyth County, 193 Ga. 571, 19 S.E.2d 297 (1942).
