    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    June 25, 1913.)

    The complaint and information for catching fish on the inclosed land of another without the owner’s consent, the inclosure being less than 2,000 acres, following the statute completely, are sufficient against motion to quash.

    2. Criminal Law (§ 1099*) — Appeal—Statement of Facts — Time for Filing.
    A statement of facts, not filed till 24 days after adjournment of the term at which defendant was tried, is too late, and so cannot be considered.

   PRENDERGAST, J.

Appellant was fined ⅞10 under a complaint and information charging him -with unlawfully catching fish upon the inclosed land of another without the owner’s consent, the inclosure containing less .than 2,000 acres. The complaint and information follow the statute (P. C. art. 1255) completely, and are sufficient against appellant’s motion to quash. Berry v. State, 156 S. W. 627.

There is in the record what purports to be a statement of facts; but it cannot be considered, because filed too late. The court at which he was tried adjourned October 18, 1912, and what purports to be the statement of facts was not filed until November 11, 1912, 24 days after adjournment. Durham v. State, 155 S. W. 222.

In the absence of a statement of facts, no other question is raised which we can consider.

The judgment is affirmed.
