    Appeal from Cherokee County Court; J. J. Bolton, Judge.
    J. A. Bailey was convicted of a violation of the Tick Eradication Law, and he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    ’ B. B. Perkins, of Rusk, for appellant.
    Tom Garrard, State’s Atty., and Grover C. Morris, Asst. State’s Atty., both of Austin, for the State.
   LATTIMORE, J.

Appellant was convicted in the county court of Cherokee county of a violation of the Tick Eradication Law (Ver. non’s Ann. Civ. St. Supp. 1918, art. 7314 et seq., and Vernon’s Ann. Civ. St. Supp. 1922, art. 7314d et seq.), and his punishment fixed at a fine of $25.

It appears from the allegations in the information that appellant was the owner and caretaker of cattle located in quarantined territory, which had been theretofore inspected by the proper authorities, and that appellant thereafter received notice in writing from said authorities directing him to dip his cattle at the proper time and place, and that he unlawfully failed and refused to dip them as directed.

The overruling of appellant’s motion to quash the information was not’preserved by any bill of exceptions, and therefore cannot be considered by us. Appellant ashed four special charges, each of which appears to have been refused by the learned trial judge. If any exception was taken to such refusal, it does not appear by any notation upon the special charges, nor is the complaint preserved by separate bill of exceptions. It is also true that the motion for a continuance, which was refused, is not before us because of the failure of the appellant to reserve his bill.

Appellant excepted to the main charge, for the reason that the court did not tell the jury that he would not be guilty if he had arranged to have his cattle dipped on the date alleged in the information, and if the failure to dip said cattle was contrary to the instructions of the defendant. There is no bill of exceptions complaining of the refusal of the court to correct his charge in the matter so excepted to. There being no bill of exceptions taken presenting the proposition that there were facts before the court necessitating the giving of some such charge, we are not at liberty to consider the matter. The charge was also further objected to because it is stated to be the law and that the court should so instruct the jury to acquit if the defendant had made arrangements to have his cattle dipped on the date contained-in his notification, and if the escape of the cattle from the parties endeavoring to dip them prevented such dipping. In order for this court to appraise the value of such exception, it would be necessary that there be a bill presented setting forth the facts making plain the need for such charge.

In addition to what we have just said, this being a misdemeanor case, the rule obtains that an exception to the charge in a given matter is not sufficient. We hold that it is the duty of the party on trial in 'a misdemeanor case to present to the court a special charge supplying or correcting the main charge in the matters excepted to; and, in the absence of a special charge so supplying the defects, an exception alone will’not suffice. The authorities are so numerous on these points that we do not deem it necessary to cite them.

Finding no error in the record, the judgment will be affirmed.

On Motion for Rehearing.

We said in our original opinion that no bill of exceptions was reserved to the overruling of the motion to quash the information. There was no regular bill of exceptions complaining of this matter, but we have concluded that the notation on the motion to quash, made by the trial judge, was sufficient to constitute it a bill of exceptions. Considing the motion we observe that the Tick Eradication Raw had been amended since Munsey v. State, 81 Tex. Cr. R. 214, 194 S. W. 954, was handed down, and it was not necessary at the time of this prosecution to allege that it “was known” to the owner that his cattle had been exposed to fever carrying ticks. The motion to quash was properly overruled.

We considered the exception taken to the main charge of the court because of its omission to submit a certain theory, but we called attention to the fact that by no appropriate bill of exceptions was it made to appear here that there were facts in evidence calling for a charge, based on said theory. One who, by exception, complains of an omission in the court’s charge, must substantiate by some approval of the court below the proposition that facts were before the court calling for the incorporation in the charge of the omitted theory.

One who presents special charges which are by the trial court simply marked “Refused” is in no position to ask any benefit from such refusal. The four special charges appearing in this record were by the trial court marked “Refused.” There appears nothing to show when said charges were presented to the triaí court, whether at the conclusion of the evidence or at some other time; nor that the court’s refusal of said charges was not acceptable to appellant. Neither by bill of exceptions nor by notation on any of said charges is the court’s action relative thereto brought before us for review. The affirmance was correct.

The motion for rehearing is overruled.
