Opinion:
HARPER, Judge.
Appellant was prosecuted and convicted of the offense of making an aggravated assault on A. D. France. He undertakes to appeal to this court, hut the recognizance entered into is insufficient in law to confer jurisdiction on this court. Therefore, the appeal must be dismissed. Articles 886, 887 and 888, and decisions cited thereunder in White's Ann. Code Criminal Procedure.
Appeal dismissed.
Dismissed.
