*812Hall, Presiding Judge,
concurring. Because of decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia I have no alternative but to concur in invitum in the dismissal of the appeals in these three criminal cases. For my views on this matter see D. G. Machinery &c. Co. v. Hardy, 119 Ga. App. 194 (166 SE2d 580) and Calloway v. State, 119 Ga. App. 194, 195 (166 SE2d 613).
I cannot help being reminded of a most learned observation by a distinguished former President of the Georgia Bar- — -the Honorable Howell Hollis — made on January 8, 1965, before the Supreme Court of Georgia. The occasion was a public hearing on the Report of the Supreme Court Rules Committee. Mr. Hollis said: “I respectfully suggest to the court that every technical dismissal of a case in the appellate courts results not only in a possible miscarriage of justice to the parties but also in a loss of respect for the courts.”
