On Motion for Rehearing.
Felton, Chief Judge.
After the publication of this court’s judgment on the appeal in this case the appellee caused to be transmitted to this court the amendment, (certified by the clerk of the trial court), referred to in the opinion as being absent from the record. The amendment was allowed by the trial judge, subject to objections, on January 2, 1968, after the appeal of the case to this court. The trial judge did not have the amendment before him at the time of rendering the judgments appealed from and not having made an adjudication with reference to them, there was no ruling on the amendment and as to this there is no judgment on the amendment which this court can review under the Constitution. Moreover, the Appellate Practice Act, Code Ann. § 6-1002, provides that an appeal acts as a supersedeas, so it would seem that any further action in the case by the trial court would be void until the remittitur from this court is returned to the trial court, at which time jurisdiction of the case passes again to the trial court.

Judgment adhered to on rehearing.

Eberhardt and Whitman, JJ., concur.
