67 S.E.2d 111, 208 Ga. 392, 1951 Ga. LEXIS 369
Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided October 9, 1951·No. 17591·Published·Cited by 6 cases

Opinion

Duckworth, Chief Justice.

This is an action to recover damages for taking and injuring private property for public use. The Supreme Court is without jurisdiction. Code (Ann.), §§ 2-3704, 2-3708 (Constitution of Georgia; Ga. L. 1945, pp. 43, 44). The mere fact that the Constitution, art. 1, sec. 3, par. 1 (Code, Ann., § 2-301; Ga. L. 1945, p. 13), forbids such injury to or taking of private property without just and adequate compensation being first paid therefor in nowise makes a constitutional question for decision by this court.

Transferred to the• Court of Appeals.

All the Justices concur.
