Opinion of the Court

Sherwood, J.

Under the provisions of section 3621, Revised Statutes, 1889, one “who shall willfully and maliciously or cruelly maim,” etc., “any horse,” etc., shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Indicted and convicted under this section, the defendant was sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for six months. Inasmuch as the offense charged is simply a misdemeanor, this court has no jurisdiction, and consequently this cause is transferred to the St. Louis'court of appeals.

All concur.
