Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Status of clerk holding funds to await final distribution is analogous to that of receiver, who is not subject to the process of garnishment, rather than to the status of a sheriff, who is subject to

such process. Bird v. Harris, 63 Ga. 433, 1879 Ga. LEXIS 239 (1879); Chance v. Simpkins, 22 Ga. App. 148, 95 S.E. 739, 1918 Ga. App. LEXIS 205 (1918).
