Decided April 12, 1922No. 6878Published

1Opinion of the CourtHawkins, J.

Conviction is for assault •with intent to murder. Punishment, five .years’ confinement in the penitentiary.

The record before us is without sentence. After conviction of any offense less than capital, sentence is a prerequisite to an appeal. See Article 856, Vernon’s C. C. P., -and authorities collated thereunder; Thomas v. State, 89 Tex. Cr. R. 106, 230 S. W. 156.

In the present state of the record this court has no jurisdiction to review the case, •and the appeal is dismissed.
