Opinion:
DAVIDSON, P. J.
This record is before us with an insufficient recognizance. The Assistant Attorney General has moved to dismiss the appeal for that reason. The recognizance is fatally defective, in that it does not state the amount of the punishment assessed against the appellant.
For this reason the appeal will be dismissed.
