1Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Judge.

This is a conviction for possessing marijuana; the punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

Two cigarettes of marijuana were found in appellant’s possession.

It is contended that such evidence was obtained as a result of the illegal arrest and unauthorized search of appellant’s person.

To preserve that question for determination by this court, appellant relies upon his motion to suppress the evidence so obtained. There is no bill of exception showing that appellant objected to the introduction before the jury of-the testimony showing the finding of the marijuana.
