R. E. Branch made affidavit before the judge of the county court of Oconee county to foreclose a liveryman’s lien on certain horses, and swore that P. C. Hewin, of Franklin county, was indebted to him $212.83 for feed and care of two horses. By amendment it was shown that the -horses were then in Oconee
It was error to quash the- execution. The county-court act provides that the county judge shall have jurisdiction to “foreclose mortgages on personal property and liens,” and shall be “ the clerk of his own court.” Park’s Ann. Code, §§ 4475 (mm) and 4775 (q). See also § 4775(r); Harper v. Tomblin, 127 Ga. 390 (56 S. E. 433); Napier Co. v. Brown, 23 Ga. App. 213 (98 S. E. 120); Brown v. Alfriend, 61 Ga. 12. Though the entire chapter relating to county courts, sections 4170 to 4217 (inclusive) of the Civil Code.of 1895, was left out of the Civil Code of 1910, this law was not thereby repealed. Wiggins v. State, 17 Ga. App. 749 (6) (88 S. E. 411).
Judgment reversed.
