MARTIN, J.
Offense, the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor; penalty, one year in the penitentiary.
The transcript shows that appellant is at large under a recognizance, but such instrument is not shown in the transcript. Because of this the state's attorney moves this court to dismiss'the appeal. Where the appellant is at large under a recognizance, same should be shown in the record, since a legal one is necessary in order to confer jurisdiction on this court. Barnaby v. State, 99 Tex. Cr.
