1Opinion of the CourtWalker, P. J.
The record in this case does not' show that the court was held at the place designated by law, or that it was convened or presided over by a judge authorized to hold it. The appeal must be dismissed, because of the failure of the record to show that the judgment appealed from was rendered by a court organized pursuant to law.—Thomas v. Daniel Bros., 42 South. 623; McPherson v. Wiggins, 40 South. 961; 2 Cyc. 1033.
Appeal dismissed.
