223 La. 792
    STATE v. MORGAN.
    
      No. 41235.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    July 3, 1953.
    Campbell & Campbell, Minden, for appellant.
    Fred S. LeBlanc,.Atty. Gen., M. E. Culli-gan, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Louis H. Pad-gett, Jr., Dist. Atty.", Bossier City, for ap-pellee.
   PIAMITER, Justice.

The instant appeal was granted to the defendant, U. C. Morgan, from his conviction of the offense of aggravated -battery and a sentence to serve a term of six months in the Webster Parish jail, subject to work on the Parish Farm.

During the entire proceedings in the district court only one bill of exceptions was reserved (it to the overruling of a motion for a new trial in which the sole averment was that “the verdict herein is contrary to-the law and the evidence”), and such bill was never perfected. Again, when the appeal came on for a hearing in this court no appearance whatever was made by or for the defendant, presumably’ it having been abandoned. State v. De Soto, 221 La. 624, 60 So.2d 65 and State v. Weaver, 222 La. 148, 62 So.2d 255. Nevertheless, we have examined the entire record and find therein no prejudicial error.

Therefore, the conviction and sentence must be, and they are, affirmed.
