WHITE v. STATE.
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    May 22, 1912.)
    Bail (§ 65*) — Criminal Prosecutions — RE-COGNISANCE— SUEITCIENCY.
    A recognizance given in a prosecution for unlawfully carrying a pistol is defective, for not stating the punishment imposed, as required by statute.
    [Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bail, Cent. Dig. § 285; Dec. Dig. § 65.*]
    Appeal from Dallas County Court at Law; W. F. Whitehurst, Judge.
    Jesse White was convicted of unlawfully carrying a pistol, and appeals.
    Appeal dismissed.
    C. E. Lane, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, C. J.

Appellant was convicted of carrying a pistol. The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. The case might be affirmed, but for the fact the recognizance is insufficient under the statute; therefore the jurisdiction of this court is not attached. It fails to set out the punishment allotted appellant, as required by the statute.

The appeal is dismissed.
