Opinion:
CHRISTIAN, J.
Appellant made application to the1 judge of the Twelfth Judicial district for writ of habeas corpus. The judge refused to issue the writ, and from the refusal the appellant has sought to perfect his appeal.
The procedure in the instant case did not confer jurisdiction upon this court on appeal. The statute authorizing an appeal in cases of this nature contemplates that it shall be taken from a decision of the trial judge or court after a hearing. Article 857, Code Cr. Proc. 1925; Ex parte Lozano, 88 Tex. Cr. R. 112, 225 S. W. 59; Ex parte Smith, 85 Tex. Cr. R. 652, 215 S. W. 299; Ex parte Strong, 34 Tex. Cr. R. 309, 30 S. W. 666; Ex parte Ainsworth, 27 Tex. 731.
