Rape Appeal.
    Argued March 13, 1968.
    Before Bell, C. J., Musmanno, Jones, Cohen, Éagen, O’Beien and Robeets, JJ.
    
      
      Carmen V. Marinaro, for appellant.
    
      A. R. Cingolani, Jr., for appellee.
    May 21, 1968:
   Opinion

Per Curiam,

The appellant-petitioner took an appeal from the order of the lower Court involving an election contest. This was error. The proper procedure was to file a petition for certiorari under Supreme Court Rule 68% within thirty days from the date of the order sought to be reviewed. No petition was filed within the thirty-day time limit. Thereafter, a petition was filed by the petitioner-appellant, Harold H. Rape, for allowance of an appeal nunc pro tunc under Rule 68%. We find no merit in this petition.

Petition denied and appeal quashed.

Mr. Justice Musmanno dissents.
