Opinion of the Court

Bell, J.

It is argued in the brief of the counsel of the appellant that the verdict of the jury is not sustained by the evidence.

The statement of fact is not approved by the judge who presided at the trial, and for that reason cannot properly be considered by us.

There was no error in the judgment of the court below overruling the motion in arrest of judgment.

It was not necessary to allege in the indictment that the horse stolen was of value. (Lopez v. The State, 20 Tex., 980.)

The judgment of the court below is

Aeeirmed.
