The notice of appeal and transcript of record in this case were docketed in this court on December 9, 1968. The enumeration of error was filed on January 9, 1969, together with an affidavit of counsel for the appellant that he was seriously ill beginning December 22, 1968. Under Rule 14 and 20 of this court (221 Ga. 884), no explanation of such late filing being offered (December 19, 1968, before counsel was ill being the tenth day for filing the enumeration of errors) the appellant failed to perfect the appeal and the same must be dismissed.
