Defendant was convicted of breaking and entering a dwelling house in the nighttime with intent to steal. The record contains no bill of exception, no assignment of error, no error patent upon its face, and no brief in behalf of defendant. Therefore there is nothing to do but to affirm the verdict and the sentence.

For the reasons assigned, the verdict and the sentence appealed from are affirmed.
