    No brief reached the Reporter.
   SOMERVILLE, J.

In this case the record shows that defendant’s application for rehearing was overruled by the Court of Appeals on April 8, 1924, and that his petition for the writ of certiorari to review the judgment of that court was filed in this court on April 24, 1924. Not being filed within fifteen days, as the law requires, the petition comes too late, and must for that reason be dismissed.

Petition dismissed.

ANDERSON, C. J., and GARDNER and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
