Opinion:
MORROW, Judge.
The conviction is for theft, and punishment fixed at confinement in the county jail for six months. The indictment appears regular. The absence of bill of exceptions or statement of facts precludes an inquiry into the sufficiency of the evidence or the manner of trial. In the absence of statement of facts or bills of exception, the presumption must be indulged that the evidence supports the verdict, and that the proceedings were regular.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
