HEALD v. STATE.
No. 16670.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 2, 1934.
On Motion for Rehearing May 30, 1934.
Rehearing Denied June 27, 1934.
A. C. Chrisman, of Cleburne, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, Presiding Judge.
The conviction is for the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for one year.
It appears from the record that the appellant is at large upon an appeal bond. However, the bond is inadequate in that it fails to show that it was approved by the trial judge. Article 818, C. C. P. 1925, provides that the bond must be approved by the sheriff and also by the court trying the case. See Stine v. State, 117 Tex. Cr. R. 111, 38 S.W. (2d) 331; Lamar v. State, 118 Tex. Cr. R. 464, 40 S.W.(2d) 162; Franks v. State, 118 Tex. Cr. R. 96, 42 S.W. (2d) 1016. The bond in the present instance contains only the approval of the sheriff.
Por the reason stated, the appeal is dismissed.
