Syllabus by the Court
Consequential damages to property not taken in a condemnation proceeding resulting from the proper construction and maintenance of the object for which the property is taken must be recovered, if recovered at all, in the condemnation proceeding.
The State Highway Department filed the present condemnation proceeding to condemn an easement across lands of the condemnees for the purpose of constructing a concrete storm-drain culvert. The case was originally tried before a special master and on appeal by a jury in the superior court. After the jury returned a verdict the condemnor filed a motion for new trial on the usual general grounds and three special grounds wherein error is assigned on the admission in evidence of testimony by one of the condemnees as to the manner in which dynamite was used in constructing the storm-drain culvert. The objection made to such evidence in each special ground of the amended motion for new trial was as follows: The trial court overruled condemnor's motion for new trial and error is now assigned on such adverse judgment.
Eugene Cook, Atty. Gen., Richard L. Chambers, E. J. Summerour, Asst. Attys. Gen., Atlanta, William J. Wiggins, Carrollton, for plaintiff in error.
Earl Staples, Carrollton, for defendants in error.
