This is a conviction for passing a worthless check, with punishment assessed at three days in jail and a fine of $50.

Notice of appeal was given on September 14, 1964. The recognizance appearing in the record was entered into by the appellant on September 12, 1964.

The appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the court.
