On Rehearing.
[1] On application for rehearing made by the Attorney General, our attention is called to the fact that the motion for a new trial was made in the court below after the cause had been removed from the circuit court by appeal. That court had no jurisdiction to entertain the motion after an appeal had been taken, and therefore of course, no power to grant it. Hudson v. Bauer Grocery Co., 105 Ala. 200, 16 South. 693; De Bardeleben v. State, 16 Ala. App. 367, 77 South. 979 (opinion).
[2] However, upon a careful consideration of the evidence in this case, we are of the opinion that the affirmative charge should 'have been given for the defendant, and therefore the application for rehearing is overruled.
Application overruled.
