180 La. 219
    STATE v. KNIGHT.
    No. 32926.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    July 2, 1934.
    M. J. Allen, of Amite, and Robert T. Carter, of Greensburg, for appellant.
    G. L. Porterie, Atty. Gen., James O’Connor, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Robert S. Ellis, Jr., Dist. Atty., of Amite (James O’Niell, Sp. Asst, to Atty. Gen., of counsel), for the State.
   LAND, Justice.

Defendant was convicted of larceny of a yearling, and was sentenced to the state pen- , itentiary for a term of not less than one year nor more than two years.

Bill of Exceptions No. 1.

On the trial in the lower court, defendant objected to certain evidence tendered by the state for the purpose of rebuttal as not being in the nature of rebuttal evidence.

The per curiam to this bill declares that the evidence objected to by defendant was in rebuttal. The statement of the trial judge as to the nature of the evidence must be accepted by this court, as defendant has filed no brief in this case, and has made no appearance in this court through counsel to point out any error in the ruling of which defendant complains.

Bill of Exceptions No. 2.

This bill was reserved to the overrul ing by the judge a quo of a motion for a neu* trial. The only grounds set forth in this motion are the alleged error as to the admission of the evidence in question, and that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence, a matter over which we have no appellate jurisdiction.

The conviction and sentence are affirmed.
