    Appeal from Lamar County Court; Tom L. Beauchamp, Judge.
    Ruth Smith was convicted, and appeals.
    Dismissed.
    C. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, J.

Appellant was convicted of vagrancy. The case arose in the justice court. On conviction in that court an appeal was xirosecuted to the county court, where the jury convicted and awarded appellant a fine of $100.

Motion is made here to dismiss the appeal on the ground that before the jurisdiction of this court will attach on appeal from the county court the punishment, if it be a fine, must be in excess of $100; that, unless it exceeds $100, the jurisdiction of the county court is final. This seems to be a correct proposition.. See article 87 of the Revised Code of Criminal Procedure, and numerous authorities collated in the note under that article.

The motion to dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.
