On Motion for Rehearing.
Criminal law (&wkey;>lll(}(8) — Showing on application for certiorari to perfect record held insufficient.
Where on appeal there was neither statement of facts nor bills of exception in the record, but appellant, on presenting a motion for rehearing accompanied by an application for certiorari to perfect the record, averred that he had made a pauper’s affidavit under Vernon’s Ann. Code Cr. Proc. 1916, art. 845a, a copy of such affidavit being attached, although there was no' evidence that it had ever been’ filed"; the showing made was insufficient, since not only must- the record show an affidavit, in proper form made and filed, but that the same was called to the attention of the trial court, in order that he might have made an order directing, the court stenographer to make out and forward the desired statement of facts.
