   HARPER, J.

The Assistant Attorney General has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, because the recognizance is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court, in that it does not show that appellant has been convicted of any offense known to the law, and does not state what punishment, if any, was assessed against him.

The motion is sustained, and the appeal dismissed, for the reasons stated in the motion.
