*260Ness, Justice
(concurring in result) :
I concur in the result. I am reluctant to hold that in every eminent domain case, where the jury views the premises, that the trial judge must also view them in order to properly consider a motion for a new trial nisi. I do not so construe this opinion.
I would suggest that where a jury must arrive at a dollar figure and a view may be proper, the judge need only determine whether the verdict is “reasonable” and most times a view will not be necessary unless he is so requested.
Littlejohn, J., concurs.
