Syllabus Opinion by the Court

DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.

This case is before this court on the denial of a motion to grant summary judgment urging that no attorney's fees were due on an alleged default in the installment payments of a note and the subsequent alleged acceleration of the entire indebtedness because no notice was made of the intention to accelerate and allow payment in full within 10 days after receipt of the notice under Code Ann. § 20-506 (Ga.L.1946, pp. 761, 766; 1953, pp. 545, 546; 1957, p. 264). Held:

The sole question in issue in this case before this court is one of law and does not involve any equitable relief, title to land or any application of equitable procedure. Hence, no jurisdiction is conferred upon the Supreme Court although the case appears to have originated out of a petition for equitable relief in the lower court. Williams v. Russell, 207 Ga. 220, 60 S.E.2d 243. Accordingly, it will be

Transferred to the Court of Appeals.

All the Justices concur.
