Eberhardt, Judge,
dissenting. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Continental Investment Corp. v. Cherry 124 Ga. App. *872863, I join Judge Pannell in dissenting here. The Supreme Court having interpreted the Constitutional and statutory provisions and, in doing so, having determined that a delay, in the payment of costs for as little as four days beyond the statutory period allowed for transmission of the record, thus causing delay in transmission of it, is unreasonable and affords ground for dismissal of the appeal, I simply cannot see how we can say that a delay of 20 days beyond the statutory period does not. We are either ignoring the decisions of the Supreme Court or placing our judgment above theirs.
