    decided December 16, 1969
    
      
      John K. Jepson, assistant attorney general, with whom were Frank B. Odium, assistant attorney general, and, on the brief, Robert K. Killian, attorney general, for the appellant (defendant).

   Pee Curiam.

The Superior Court was without jurisdiction to enter the order appealed from and that order is vacated. General Statutes (Rev. to 1966) §§ 16-19, 16-22, 16-35, 16-37; Wilson Point Property Owners Assn. v. Connecticut Light & Power Co., 145 Conn. 243, 252, 140 A.2d 874; Turner v. Connecticut Co., 91 Conn. 692, 697, 101 A. 88.

In this opinion King, C. J., Alcorn, Cotter and Ryan, Js., concurred.

House, J.

(dissenting). Upon the limited record before us on this expedited appeal, I am unable to agree with the conclusion that it appears that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeal from the order of the Public Utilities Commission or to determine whether, if the court had jurisdiction, that jurisdiction was properly exercised.
