On Rehearing.
For the reasons therein stated we adhere to our original judgment. However, for another insurmountable reason this case must be dismissed. Upon further examination of the record, we find that the enumeration of errors was filed 17 days after the case was docketed in this court. Under the view we take of Sections 13 and 14 of the Appellate Practice Act of 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, pp. 18, 29, as amended Ga. L. 1965, pp. 240, 243; Code Ann. §§ 6-809 and 6-810) they require the enumeration of errors to be filed within the time prescribed by this court for the appellant to file his brief. Rule 20 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia specifies that the appellant’s brief must be filed with the clerk within 15 days after the docketing of the case in this court. Hence, the enumeration of errors in this case was not timely and, for this further reason, the appeal is dismissed.
