On Motion for Rehearing.
In an eloquent brief filed in support of appellee’s motion for rehearing able counsel emphasizes that we failed in the foregoing opinion to recognize "the evidentiary requirement established in Chandler v. Gately, 119 Ga. App. 513 (167 SE2d 697).” Headnote 3 at page 514 of that opinion is quoted and supplemented by argument.
Having observed from briefs filed in other appeals that attorneys have continued to cite the principle enunciated in Headnote 3 as is being done here, we deem it appropriate to point out that our court in Burnette Ford *872v. Hayes, 124 Ga. App. 65 (183 SE2d 78) included Chandler v. Gately, supra, among seven cases which the opinion stated "can no longer be considered as binding authority on this court.” This conclusion was correctly drawn from the answer to our certified question as furnished by the Supreme Court in Burnette Ford v. Hayes, 227 Ga. 551 (181 SE2d 866).
Accordingly, we are compelled to adhere to the foregoing opinion and, therefore, the rehearing motion is denied.

Motion for rehearing denied.
