1Opinion of the Court
Almand, Chief Justice.
1. We granted certiorari in this case to review the ruling of the Court of Appeals (Bowers v. Fulton County, 122 Ga. App. 45 (176 SE2d 219)), which Bowers assigned as error, and that was that attorneys fees and expenses of litigation are not embraced within just compensation for land taken by eminent domain, there being no statutory provision for the payment of attorneys fees and expenses of litigation in condemnation cases.
The Court of Appeals correctly decided this issue and in affirming the judgment we add some additional authorities to its opinion.
