On the Merits Oct. 8, 1930.

See, also, 32 S.W.(2d) 184, 185.
G. O. Crisp, of Kaufman, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty. of Canton, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, J.
Conviction is for possessing a still for manufacturing intoxicating liquor; punishment being three years in the penitentiary.
As it appears in the record the appeal bond is approved by the sheriff only. Article 818, O. C. P. (1925), requires that it be approved by both the sheriff and the trial judge. For authorities, see note 1, under said article in Vernon's Ann. Tex. C. C. P., vol. 3.
The bills of exception seem defective ,in not setting out the, search warrant and affidavit thereof, but we do not discuss them, as the case is not properly before us.
If appellant desires to do so, he will have fifteen days from this date to file .proper bond and present a record thereof to this court in connection with motion to reinstate the appeal.
The appeal is dismissed.
On Motion to Reinstate.
CHRISTIAN, J.
The appeal was dismissed at a former day of the term because of an insufficient appeal bond. A sufficient bond, properly approved, having been timely filed, the appeal is reinstated, and the case will stand for later consideration on its merits.
PER CURIAM.
