    Darden vs. The State of Georgia
    The act creating the city court of Atlanta (Acts 1871-2, p. 57) gives it jurisdiction in cases of misdemeanors, and provides that the accused may be tried on an accusation; and the act of 1875 (Acts 1875, p. 40) extended the jurisdiction of that court over the county of Fulton. Therefore, in a bastardy case, the failure to give security to maintain and educate the child, as provided by law, being a misdemeanor, it could be tried under ah accusation in that court, without the necessity of an indictment.
    Judgment affirmed.
    April 2, 1885.
   Jackson, Chief Justice.
