Banke, Presiding Judge.
This is a suit by the appellant to recover damages from the appellee, Globe Oil Company, for malicious prosecution. The appeal is from the grant of the appellee’s motion to dismiss the complaint for insufficiency of services of process.
The suit was filed in Forsyth County, where the alleged tortious conduct took place; and service was effected upon Steve Payton in his capacity as manager of a retail outlet the company operated in Forsyth County. At issue in this appeal is whether Mr. Payton was authorized to accept service for the corporation.
