Cook v. State
Opinion of the Court
The conviction is for the offense of unlawfully killing a hog; punishment fixed at a fine of ten dollars.
The appeal bond is not in such form as to give jurisdiction to the merits of the case. It fails to state the punishment. See Penal Code, Art. 919; also Branch’s Ann. Tex. Penal Code, Sec. 615.
The State’s motion to dismiss the appeal must be sustained. It may he reinstated upon the filing of the proper bond in accordance with the statute.
Dismissed.
