Head Matter:
Collier vs. Georgia Railroad.
Case, from City Court of Atlanta. Railroads. Roads and Bridges. Fences. (Before Judge Clarke.)
L. J. Winn ; Harrison & Peeples, for plaintiff in error.

Opinion:
Blandford J.
There is no duty or obligation on railroad companies in this State to fence in or place guards along their roads where there may be cuts or embankments, notwithstanding a public road may run parallel to such railroad.
(a) Sections 706, 707 of the Code apply to road crossings — not to roads running parallel to railroads.
Judgment affirmed.
