Opinion:
DAVIDSON, J.
The record is before us without notice of appeal, for which reason the jurisdiction of this court has not attached. The Assistant Attorney General moves to dismiss the appeal for want of notice of appeal given in the trial court. The motion is well taken, and the appeal is dismissed.
