OPINION ON PETITION TO REHEAR
The appellants have filed an earnest and courteous Petition to Rehear. By this petition it is initially contended that the Court mistakenly treated the assignments of error, brief and argument as being filed on September 27, 1971, the day they were received by the Clerk, instead of September 24, 1971, the date they were mailed. Even if this contention were correct, the assignments of error, brief and argument would of course still not have been timely filed. We may point out, however, that we are cited to no authority in support of appellants’ position, and know of none. Rule 14 states that the “appellant shall file with the clerk . ” To file with the clerk means actual delivery to the clerk. Cf. State ex rel. Partin v. Dykes, 169 Tenn. 100, 83 S.W.2d 243 (1935); Jones v. Moore, 106 Tenn. 188, 61 S.W. 81 (1900).
The other matters raised in the petition were fully considered in the original opinion, and consequently the petition to rehear is denied.
