Appellant was convicted of breaking, pulling down, and injuring the fence of J. R. Castleberry without his consent.
The court adjourned on the 27th day of July, and the statement of facts was not filed until the 22d day of August, making more than 20 days after the adjournment of court. There is no order in the record authorizing the statement of facts to be filed after adjournment. The evidence will not be considered, therefore: First, because there was no order allowing'it to be filed after adjournment of the term; and, second, if there had been, it was filed too late.
The judgment will be affirmed.
