    Walter Thomas was convicted of an offense, and he appeals.
    Dismissed.

   DAVIDSON, J.

This case, it seems, arose in the justice court, where a conviction was had, and thence appealed to the county court, and appellant was again convicted. The fine is not in excess of $100. TMs, under the' statute, makes it final in the county court. Unless the fine exceeds $100, it becomes final in the county court, when appealed from the justice court to the county court. See article 87, Revised Code of Criminal Procedure.

This appeal, therefore, must be dismissed on the motion of the Assistant Attorney General; and it is accordingly so ordered.
