63 Ga. 289 | Ga. | 1879
This was a rule against the sheriff of Bibb county, calling upon him to show cause why he should not be attached for contempt for failing to execute a warrant placed in his hands in favor of Elizabeth Ware against David D. Craig, which warrant was issued against the said Craig as a tenant of the said Elizabeth Ware holding over, under the provisions of the 4077th section of the Code. Upon the hearing of the rule and the sheriff’s answer thereto, the court ordered that the rule be made absolute so far as that the sheriff was thereby ordered and directed to proceed to execute said process according to the statute in such ease made and provided, whereupon the sheriff excepted.
