    Mize, sheriff, vs. Baisden.
    After a rule absolute against a sheriff has been obtained, before he can be attached for contempt, a rule nisi calling upon him to show cause why he should not be so attached, must be sued out and served on him, 57 Ga., 24.
    
      (a.) Where a rule nisi against a sheriff was sued out, calling on him to show cause why he should not p ay over certain funds alleged to be in his hands, at the time such rule was made absolute, the court could not, without more, order that, in default of payment, the sheriff should be attached for contempt.
