Bell, Chief Judge.
The question in this appeal is whether a mother suing for the full value of her deceased child’s life may in addition sue for punitive damages and attorney’s fees. The issue is not open to us for decision as the Supreme Court has decided the issue adversely to the plaintiff-appellant. See Engle v. Finch, 165 Ga. 131 (139 SE 868). The trial court’s judgment striking that issue from the case is

Affirmed.
