This was a prosecution for an assault and battery, upon affidavit and information, resulting in the conviction of the appellant.

The only brief on file was filed merely to obtain a supersedeas, and does not discuss, or assume to discuss, the merits of the appeal. It is not such a brief as our practice requires upon the hearing of a cause.

The appeal will, therefore, have to be dismissed, and is dismissed accordingly, at the costs of the appellant.
