Hill, Justice,
dissenting.
In my view, Ga. L. 1974, p. 702, was intended to provide more comprehensive indemnification for the employees of Glascock County than the county commissioners have provided here. Providing attorney fees for the sheriff in two named cases does not constitute the adoption of a policy whereby the county will undertake to defend all or specified civil, criminal or quasi-criminal actions brought against county employees or officers, as provided by that Act (Code Ann. § 89-945). I therefore dissent.
I am authorized to state that Chief Justice Nichols joins me in this dissent.
