Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

HAWKINS, Presiding Judge.

Conviction is for possessing whisky for the purpose of sale in dry territory; punishment assessed being a fine of $100.00.

No statement of facts is brought forward and no bills, of exception appear in the record.

When the case was originally submitted on March 26, 1941, the transcript failed to show that appellant had entered into a recognizance pending appeal, and time was extended to enable that defect to be remedied. A supplemental transcript filed here on April 9, 1941, reflects the fact that appellant had entered into the proper recognizance.

However, in the absence of a statement of facts or bills of exception, no questipn is presented for review, and the judgment is affirmed;
