On Motion for Rehearing.
It is earnestly insisted that the Appellate Practice Act of 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18, et seq.) applies to this case since it was decided after August 1, 1965, and that since this Act abolishes assignments of error and all rules relating thereto (§ 3), this court is in error in dismissing the bill of exceptions because of lack of assignments of error. This Act also abolishes bills of exception; however, while the Act became effective August 1, 1965, it became effective only as to appeals taken on or after said date (§ 24). An appeal taken prior to August 1, 1965, as *300in the present case, must be decided under the old law, even though decided after August 1, 1965.

Rehearing denied.
