The opinion states the case.

1Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

This appeal must be dismissed for want of a recognizance. There is in the record what purports to be an appeal bond signed by appellant' and two sureties. It is not a recognizance but an appeal bond. This is not a sufficient compliance with the law, and the motion of the Assistant Attorney-General must be sustained.

The appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
