The City of Atlanta projected Washington Street over the railroad tracks at the northern end of it, to a streét on the northern side of the tracks, by means of a bridge or viaduct of the same width of the street. The viaduct and its approaches changed the grade of the street in front of the property of the Episcopal Church. The trustee of the church property instituted an action to recover damages consequentially resulting to the property from the construction of the viaduct. The case was tried and a verdict was rendered, which was set aside by this court. Nelson v. Atlanta,
