On Motion for Rehearing.
2. Embezzlement <@=>32 — Indictment.
An indictment for embezzlement being required to allege defendant’s agency, and that he was charged with the duty of receiving the property, the receipt thereof, its receipt by virtue of his agency, and its embezzlement, an indictment, charging that defendant was agent of a church, that certain persons were trustees thereof, that as such trustees they had the custody and control and were the special owners of funds, and that defendant embezzled money which was the property of said trustees as such special owners, and which had come into the possession, and was under the care, of defendant, by virtue of his said agency, is insufficient, as it should have alleged not only the ownership by such trustees, as such, and their possession and control of the money, but that it was received by defendant from them in some fiduciary relation, and that thereafter he embezzled and appropriated it to his own use.
[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Embezzlement, Cent. Dig. §§ 47-50; Dec. Dig. <@=>32.]
Appeal from Criminal District Court, Williamson County; A. S. Fisher, Judge.
J. H. Gilliard was convicted, and appeals.
Reversed and dismissed.
J. F. Taulbee, of Georgetown, for appellant. C. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, J.
This conviction was for embezzlement. An inspection of the record discloses that it does not contain a sentence or final judgment. For this reason the jurisdiction of this court has not attached, and the appeal as presented by this record will be dismissed.
