1Opinion of the Court
HARPER, Judge.
Appellant was prosecuted under information and complaint charging her with unlawfully carrying a pistol and the trial resulted in her conviction.
The Assistant Attorney-General has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal on the ground that the recognizance does not state that she had been convicted of a misdemeanor, neither does it describe a statutory offense nor state the penalty assessed. Erom an inspection of the recognizance, it appears that these grounds must be sustained, and the appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
