Head Matter:
E. L. Tipson v. The State.
No. 16303.
Delivered December 13, 1933.
Reported in 66 S. W. (2d) 315.
The opinion states the case.
T. A. Scruggs, of Menard, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Attorney, of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, Judge.
Conviction is for burglary, punishment assessed at two years' confinement in the penitentiary.
The record before this court fails to show any judgment of conviction. The record' recites a verdict, but if. any judgment was entered thereon it does not so appear. Furthermore, it fails to show that sentence was ever pronounced against appellant. We find the following recital in the transcript, "4-17-33— Defendant sentenced to confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two (2d) years." This notation is not such a sentence as the law requires.
The appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
