Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Sheriff will be enjoined from turning land over to buyer when the sheriff refused to postpone sale. This is especially true when the sheriff announced at the sale that the sheriff refused to accept the claim. Cook v. Dixon, 154 Ga. 373, 114 S.E. 429 (1922).

Pendency of claim deeds do not make it illegal for other judgment creditors to sell land at a sheriffs sale. Walker v. Zorn, 50 Ga. 370 (1873). Cited in Perkerson v. Overby, 59 Ga. 414 (1877).
