   BRICKEN, P. J.

This appeal is from a judgment of conviction for the violation of a municipal ordinance; the offense charged being the violation of the prohibition ordinances of said city.

There are no assignments of error as the law requires. A prosecution of this character is statutory and quasi criminal in its nature. The statute (Code 1907, § 6264), which obviates the necessity of assigning errors in criminal cases, has no application to appeals in quasi criminal cases. Perry v. State, 1 Ala. App. 253, 55 South. 1035.

No questions being presented for review as a result of failure to assign errors on the record, the judgment appealed from is affirmed.

Affirmed.

FOSTER, J., not sitting.
