1. — Assault with'Prohibited Weapon — Sufficiency of the Evidence — Practice on Appeal.
Where, upon trial of assault with a prohibited weapon, the indictment is sufficient and the conviction is regular, the judgment must be affirmed in the absence of a statement of facts.
'2. — Same—Rehearing—-Certiorari—-Statement of Facts.
Where the facts averred in the application for certiorari would not warrant the consideration of the statement of facts, the same must be denied; how.ever, if the facts are considered there being no justifying or mitigating circumstances, but a plea of guilty, and the lowest penalty assessed, there is no reversible error.

The opinion states the case.
W. C. Wofford, for appellant.
Tom Garrard, Attorney for the State, and Grover G. Morris, Assistant Attorney for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, Presiding Judge.
— Charged by indictment with the offense of- assault with a prohibited weapon, appellant entered a plea of guilty, and the jury assessed his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for a period of one year.
The record is accompanied by no statement of facts; nor is there complaint by bill of exceptions or otherwise of any ruling of the trial court, or fault in the trial of the case. The indictment is not attacked, nor have we observed in it any vice. So far as we are able t-discern from the record, the conviction is reguiar, and this court has no choice but to enter a judgment of affirmance. Such is the order.
Affirmed.
