E. G. ROBERSON v. STATE.
    (No. 12057.)
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Oct. 10, 1928.
    J. D'. Bass, of Pittsburg, for appellant.
    A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   MARTIN, J.

OfEense, the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor; penalty, 14 months in the penitentiary. Nothing is presented for review by appellant, as there are neither bills of exception nor any statement of facts. We notice, however, that sentence was for a definite term, namely, 14 months. This does not comply with the indeterminate sentence law, as the minimum term of one year is not provided for. This court, however, has power to reform such sentence, so as to make it read “for a period of not less than one year nor more than 14 months," and it is accordingly so ordered. Reformed and affirmed.

PER CURIAM. The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
