3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"When the trial court hears the evidence without a jury, its findings of fact will not be disturbed unless clearly erroneous or manifestly unjust. . . . "Yet how do[es] th[is] presumption apply where the probate judge, exercising jurisdiction under Code 1975, § 18-1-1 , and the circuit judge, exercising a general superintendence over the probate court under Code 1975, § 12-11-30 (4), both make findings of fact? 4 Th[is] presumption [is] limited to situations where the trial court actually sees and hears the evidence upon which its findings are based."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ex Parte Farley““The general principle is well established that the delegation of the power of eminent domain to a grantee without restriction, carries with it the power to locate the route, and its location or necessity will not be interfered with by the courts if it is made by the utility in good faith and is not capricious or wantonly injurious ... necessity to condemn is a legislative question, not judicial. It is granted by statute to petitioner.... The province of the court is to see that the right is not abused.... ””
