    COOK v. STATE.
    (No. 7377.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 31, 1923.)
    Bail <§=>65 — Appeal dismissed, where bond fails to state punishment.'
    Where an appeal bond in misdemeanor fails to state the punishment, as is required by Code Cr. Proc. 1911, art. 919, the appeal will be dismissed.
    Appeal from Trinity County Court; Fred. J. Berry, Judge.
    W. A. Cook was convicted of unlawfully killing a hog, and he appeals.
    Appeal dismissed.
    W. A. Cook, of Groveton pro se.
    R. G. Storey, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   MORROW, P. J.

The conviction is for the offense of unlawfully killing a hog; punishment fixed at a fine of $10.

The appeal bond is not in such form as to give jurisdiction to the merits of the case. It fails to state the punishment. See Code Cr. Proc. art. 919; also Branch’s Ann. Tex. Penal Code, § 615.

The state’s motion to dismiss the appeal must be sustained. It may be reinstated, upon the filing of the proper bond in accordance with the statute.
