   PRENDERGAST, P. J.

On January 2, 1914, Judge O’Neal, judge of the fifth judicial district of Texas, fined said Crumpton $5 for contempt of court. The proper order to that effect was duly and legally entered in the minutes of the court. Based thereon, the proper writ was issued to the sheriff commanding him to take possession of Mr. Crumpton and keep him in custody to collect the fine. The sheriff duly executed the writ and took Mr. Crumpton in custody and held him in restraint. Thereupon Mr. Crumpton applied to Judge Denton, judge of the Sixth judicial district, for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Denton granted the writ, made it returnable and to be heard before Judge Armi-stead, judge of the Special Fifth judicial district of Texas for Bowie county. When the matter came on to be heard before Judge Armistead, upon the sheriff’s (the respondent’s) motion to guash and dismiss, the court guashed and dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and remanded Mr. Crumpton to the custody of the sheriff, in accordance with the original order and commitment of Judge O’Neal. Mr. Crumpton excepted to Judge Armistead’s action, gave notice of appeal to this court, and entered into a recognizance, and thereupon was discharged, and is at liberty, and has been so ever since.

Under these circumstances, the Assistant Attorney General moves the court to dismiss this attempted appeal because this court has no jurisdiction thereof, and his motion must be granted under the uniform decisions. Ex parte Parvin, 63 Tex. Cr. R. 512, 140 S. W. 439, and cases there cited; Ex parte Eldridge, 162 S. W. 1149.

The case is therefore dismissed.
