v.
Buford STRINGFELLOW.
6 Div. 99.

Supreme Court of Alabama.
January 10, 1957.
Rehearing Denied March 7, 1957.
*928 Lipscomb, Brobston, Jones & Brobston, Bessemer, for petitioner.
Lange, Simpson, Robinson & Somerville, Birmingham, and Huey, Stone & Patton, Bessemer, opposed.
LAWSON, Justice.
This is a petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals.
The opinion of the Court of Appeals is set out in the petition. It is followed by these statements: "Your petitioner avers that the Court of Appeals erred in its decision of October 16, 1956, and that the same should be reversed, and the Court of Appeals erred in denying petitioner's application for rehearing.
"All of said grounds hereinabove assigned will be more completely and fully discussed in the brief filed with this petition."
But no errors are specified or assigned anywhere in the petition for the writ of certiorari, although the brief of petitioner challenges several of the holdings of the Court of Appeals.
In Davenport-Harris Funeral Home, Inc. v. Chandler, 264 Ala. 623, 88 So. 2d 878, 879, Mr. Justice Simpson writing for the court, in holding the petition there filed insufficient because it did not point out any error in the opinion of the Court of Appeals, said:
In view of the holding of this court in Davenport-Harris Funeral Home, Inc., v. Chandler, supra, we are constrained to deny the writ without giving consideration to any of the questions treated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals.
Writ denied.
LIVINGSTON, C. J., and STAKELY and MERRILL, JJ., concur.
