Head Matter:
T. C. McCulloch v. The State.
No. 4324.
Decided December 27, 1916.
Rehearing denied January 31, 1917.
1.—Carrying Pistol—Notice of Appeal—Recognizance.
Where, upon appeal from a conviction of unlawfully carrying a pistol, the record failed to show that notice of appeal had been entered, the jurisdiction of this court does not attach; besides, the record as presented, would require an affirmance.
3.—Same—Affidavits—N otice
Where, upon rehearing, the appellant undertook by affidavits to show that he gave notice of appeal in the trial court but it was not entered of record, this is an insufficient showing.
3. —Same—Statement of Pacts—Transcript—Practice on Appeal.
Where the transcript did not contain the order of the court either granting or refusing to grant the time for filing the statement of facts, and the court could not have granted more than twenty days beyond the term of court for filing said statement and bills of exception, the same could not be considered on appeal.
4. —Same—Unreasonable Delay—Transcript.
See opinion calling attention of the county authorities for the delay in filing transcript, etc., which requires an investigation.
Appeal from the County Court of Hopkins. Tried below before the Hon. Dan E. Junell.
Appeal from a conviction of unlawfully carrying a pistol; penalty, a fine of one hundred dollars.
The opinion states the case.
No brief on file for appellant.
E. B. Hendricks, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of violating the pistol law, his punishment being assessed at a fine of $100.
This record contains neither a statement of facts, bill of exceptions, motion for new trial, nor notice of appeal, and the attempted recognizance seems to be an appeal bond. Without notice of appeal, even if this bond should he counted sufficient to operate as a recognizance, the jurisdiction of this court does not attach. For these reasons the appeal, therefore, must be dismissed; hut even had the jurisdiction of this court attached, the record as presented would require an affirmance.
The appeal, therefore, is dismissed.
Dismissed.
