Dalton v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

This case was tried in the County Court on an indictment. There is no order of transfer from the District to the County Court. This is necessary. There is no authority in our law for presenting and filing an indictment in the County Court. It must be presented in the District Court, and in order to secure jurisdiction in the County Court there must be a proper order of transfer ■entered as required by the statute.

The judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
