Delivered May 2, 1934.
Reinstated and Affirmed May 30, 1934.
Rehearing Denied June 27, 1934.
The opinion states the case.
A. C. Chrisman, of Cleburne, for appellant.
.Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Attorney, of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, Presiding Judge. —
The conviction is for the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for one year.
It appears from the record that the appellant is at large upon an appeal bond. However, the bond is inadequate in that it fails to show that it was approved by the trial judge. Art. 818, C. C. P., 1925, provides that the bond must be approved by the sheriff and also by the court trying the case. See Stine v. State, 38 S. W. (2d) 331; Lamar v. State, 40 S. W. (2d) 162; Franks v. State, 42 S. W. (2d) 1016. The bond in the present instance contains only the approval of the sheriff.
For the reason stated, the appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
