    Appeal from District Court, Travis County; George Calhoun, Judge.
    Will Hilliard was convicted of burglary, and appeals.
    Affirmed.
    C. E. Lane, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, P. J.

Appellant was convicted of burglary; his punishment being assessed at five years’ confinement in the penitentiary.

Appellant sets forth in his motion for new trial several reasons why the judgment ■should be reversed. The first is that the verdict of the jury is contrary to the law and the evidence; second, that there is a material variance between the allegations in the indictment and the evidence adduced upon the trial, in this: That said indictment ■charges the burglary to have been committed by entering a house, and does not allege the house to be a private residence, whereas, the testimony developed the fact and was positive that said house was a private residence, hence the proof was of a separate and distinct offense than that alleged. Both grounds would be serious, if true; but we are unable to decide the matter, because the record does ■not contain a statement of facts.

Finding no reversible error in the record ■as presented, the judgment is affirmed.
