    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   MORROW, P. J.

Unlawfully practicing medicine is the offense ; penalty assessed at a fine of $250 and confinement in the county jail for thirty days.

The offense is denounced in articles 741, 742, P. C. 1925.

The term of court at which the trial took place ended on the 30th day of May, 1931. The appeal was prosecuted during the term and bond filed on the 1st day of May, 1931. The statute contemplates that when an appeal is taken during the term, jurisdiction of this court is acquired by a recognizance. See artircle 818, C. C. P. 1925; also, King v. State, 83 Tex. Cr. R. 304, 203 S. W. 52, and other cases collated in Vernon’s Ann. Tex. C. C. P. vol. 3, p. 191.

Under the present status of the case, this court is without jurisdiction to entertain the appeal. It is therefore dismissed.
