¶1 Opinion

Per Curiam,

¶2 The appellant-petitioner took an appeal from the order of the lower Court involving an election contest. This was error. The proper procedure was to file a petition for certiorari under Supreme Court Rule 68% within thirty days from the date of the order sought to be reviewed. No petition was filed within the thirty-day time limit. Thereafter, a petition was filed by the petitioner-appellant, Harold H. Rape, for allowance of an appeal nunc pro tunc under Rule 68%. We find no merit in this petition.

¶3 Petition denied and appeal quashed.

Mr. Justice Musmanno dissents.
