Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided February 22, 1893No. 7PublishedCited by 9 opinions

Appellant was put upon trial upon an indictment in the County Court, charging him with carrying on or about his person “ knuckles made of metal and a hard substance. ’ ’ He pleaded a former conviction for the same offense, before the Mayor’s Court of the city of Vernon, which plea was, on motion of the county attorney, stricken out. The trial in the County Court resulted in defendant’s conviction, his punishment being fixed at a fine of $25.

1Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Judge.

The Assistant Attorney-General, in an able brief and argument, has fully, and we think conclusively, met and answered the proposition relied on by the appellant, and involved in this appeal. He supports his argument by authorities that are unanswerable, as well as by former decisions of this court. We deem it unnecessary to enter upon a further discussion of the issues discussed, and therefore adopt the brief as the opinion of this court. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

Judges all present and concurring.
