¶1 “It is not only the right but the duty of a reviewing. . . court to raise the question of its jurisdiction in all cases in which there may be any doubt as to the existence of such jurisdiction.” Durrell v. White, 198 Ga. 253 (31 S. E. 2d 461).

¶2 2. “This court has no jurisdiction to entertain a writ of error from the *575 trial division of the Civil Court of Eulton County, in a case involving more than three hundred dollars, when the bill of exceptions is tendered to the trial judge more than fifteen days after the date of the ruling complained of.” Cardell v. The Bank of Georgia, 78 Ga. App. 134 (3) (50 S. E. 2d 876).
