(After stating the foregoing facts.) In McDade v. Burch, 7 Ga. 559, it was held that an order of the court of ordinary
The statute does not declare what shall be the contents of this personal notice, nor how it should be served; and the contents of the notice and manner of service must be left to the determination of the court, which, under the statute, is not only given jurisdiction in reference to the matter, but is required to see that the service is perfected. When a court has jurisdiction of a case, it may frame such order as may be necessary to perfect service upon the parties to be affected. Mitchell v. Southwestern R., 15 Ga. 398; Coakley v. Southern Ry. Co., 120 Ga. 960. The service must be formal, and an entry must appear upon the records showing the service. Mere casual notice to a party, of pending proceedings, is not such service as the law requires. Baker v. Aultman, 107 Ga. 339.
Judgment reversed.
