On Motion eor Rehearing.
In paragraph 3 of the motion for rehearing counsel for the plaintiff in error cited the case of Northwest Atlanta Bank v. Zee, 196 Ga. 114 (26 S. E. 2d 183), wherein this court held that, in compliance with Code § 6-810, it would order the clerk of the trial court to certify and send up to this court any additional record in the trial court where it appeared from argument of counsel or in consideration of the case that there was such record and that it was necessary in order fully and fairly to adjudicate the questions in issue; and requested this court to have certified and transmitted to this court the evidence adduced upon the hearing of the motion for a new trial in support of grounds 4 and 5 thereof. In response to such an order issued by this court, the clerk of the trial court certified that “no approved brief of the evidence adduced at the hearing of the motion for new trial in said case has been filed in this court.” While the certificate further discloses that there is of file a report of the evidence, depositions, and counter-showing of the State, it is not made to appear that the report of evidence has been properly briefed (Evans v. Anderson, 214 Ga. 828, 108 S. E. 2d 268), or that it, the depositions, or counter-showing by the State have been approved by the judge so as to become a part of the record which could be transmitted by the clerk to this court, and they cannot now, since certification of the bill of *122exceptions, be made a part of the record. Glover v. State, 128 Ga. 1 (3) (57 S. E. 101); Sasser v. State, 129 Ga. 541 (13, 14) (59 S. E. 255). Hence, no reversal of the judgment of the court below overruling these grounds of the motion for a new trial is legally possible. Code (Ann.) §§ 6-801 — 6-803; Morrison v. Dodge, 94 Ga. 730 (20 S. E. 422); Epps v. Miller, 127 Ga. 118 (1) (56 S. E. 123); Summerlin v. State, 130 Ga. 791 (61 S. E. 849); Leathers v. Leathers, 132 Ga. 211 (63 S. E. 1118); Pharr v. Davis, 133 Ga. 759 (66 S. E. 917); Caldwell v. Sturdivant, 155 Ga. 590 (118 S. E. 39); Attaway v. Duncan, 206 Ga. 230 (56 S. E. 2d 269).

Motion for rehearing denied.
