Further, we have examined the pleadings of both parties and the evidence adduced at the trial, and find that the case was an action for damages based on trespass to appellant's land, or conversion of trees from his land, neither of which would be a case "respecting title to land" under the provisions of our Constitution granting exclusive jurisdiction to this court. Johnson v. Woodward Lumber Co., 202 Ga. 288 ( 42 S.E.2d 639) (1947); Sweat v. Ehrensperger, 213 Ga. 772 ( 102 S.E.2d 35) (1958). Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.
This being a controversy over the proceeds of a condemnation award, and title to the land now being in the condemnor, it is not a case respecting title to land so as to fall within the jurisdiction of this court. Code Ann. ยง 2-3704; Dougherty County v. Hamilton, 214 Ga. 644 ( 106 S.E.2d 789); Sweat v. Ehrensperger, 213 Ga. 772 ( 102 S.E.2d 35); Miller v. Ray, 208 Ga. 27 ( 64 S.E.2d 449). Therefore, the Court of Appeals, and not the Supreme Court, has jurisdiction to review the judgment complained of.
