Opinion:
BEAUCHAMP, Judge.
Appellant was assessed a fine of $200 and three months in jail on a charge of transporting whisky in a dry area.
The term of court at which he was tried began on the 1st day of November, 1948, and adjourned on the 20th day of November following. During the term of court and on the 13t)h day of November appellant filed an appeal bond, which was approved by the county judge and the sheriff. The provisions of our statute for appeals during term time provide for entering into recognizance instead of filing an appeal bond. Articles 830 and 831, Code of Criminal Procedure. We have frequently held that an appeal bond filed during the term •of court does not give this Court jurisdiction.
The appeal is dismissed.
