Bates v. State

This is an appeal by the appellants from a final judgment of the District Court of Falls County on a forfeiture of a bail bond. The appeal bond in this case is conditioned that the appellants "shall prosecute their appeal with effect and in case the judgment of the Supreme Court or the Court of Civil Appeals shall be against them, they shall perform its judgment, sentence and decrees, etc." This bond is wholly insufficient to give this court jurisdiction of the appeal, and for that reason the appeal will have to be dismissed. Anderson et al v. State,166 S.W. 1164.
