Appellant was convicted in the County Court of simple assault, and his punishment assessed at a fine of $5.

The term of court at which appellant was tried adjourned May 2d, and the statement of facts nor bills of exceptions were neither filed within the time allowed, having been filed more than twenty days after adjournment, consequently the motion of the Assistant Attorney General to strike out the bills of exception and statement of facts must be sustained. DeFriend v. State, 69 Texas Crim. Rep., 329, 153 S. W. Rep., 881; Durham v. State, 69 Texas Crim. Rep., 71, 155 S. W. Rep., 222; Stephens v. State, 158 S. W. Rep., 531; Wilson v. State, 71 Texas Crim. Rep., 547, 160 S. W. Rep., 454; Hampton v. State, 72 Texas Crim. Rep., 189, 161 S. W. Rep., 966; Newsome v. State, 72 Texas Crim. Rep., 453, 162 S. W. Rep., 891, and other cases cited in those opinions.
