Quillian, Judge.

The appellant enumerated as error two instructions given the jury in the court’s charge. ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍However, it does not appear in the record that any objection was made to the charge before verdict as required by Code Ann. § 70-207 (a,b) (Ga. L. 1965, pp. 18, 31; ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍Ga. L. 1966, pp. 493, 498; Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1072, 1078) and the enumerations of error are not considered. Nathan v. Duncan, 113 Ga. App. 630 (6) (149 SE2d 383). The appellant ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍admits that no objection was made after the charge but insists that on a hearing concerning requests to charge, the appellant “vigorously” objected to such instructions. As pointed out ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍in Atlanta Americana &c. Corp. v. Sika Chem. Corp., 117 Ga. App. 707, 710 (3) (161 SE2d 342), the requirement is that there be a proper objection after the court instructed the ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍jury and before the jury returned a verdict.

Judgment affirmed.

Bell, P. J., and Hall, J., concur.
