Therefore, pursuant to the mandate of the Supreme Court, the judgment of this court affirming the trial court is vacated and the judgment of the trial court is

Reversed.

Bell, P. J., Jordan and Eberhardt, JJ., concur.

On Motion for Rehearing.

In our judgment this motion has merit, and were we not bound by the decision of the Supreme Court which renders us powerless to correct what we conceive to be error, we should grant it. However, we must bow to the authority of our highest court. The correction of any error now lies exclusively within the domain of the Supreme Court.

Motion denied.
