The opinion

CHRISTIAN, Judge.

— The offense is murder; the punishment, confinement in the penitentiary for 10 years.

We find no recognizance in the record, although there is a statement in the transcript to the effect that such recognizance was taken. Under the circumstances, this court is without jurisdiction to pass on the merits of the case. See Warrick v. State, 268 S. W., 1118 .

The appeal is dismissed.
