(Syllabus by the Court.)
APPEAL — Dismissal. Where no briefs had been filed by accused, and when the case was called for final submission no appearance was made on his behalf and no error appeared from an examination of the record proper, the Attorney General's motion to affirm the conviction for failure to prosecute the appeal should be sustained.
Appear from County Court, Jefferson County; J.M. Adams, Judge.
Monk Dulaney was convicted of a violation of the prohibitory law, and he appeals. Affirmed.
Hamilton & Sayre, for plaintiff in error.
R. McMillan, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff in error was convicted on an information charging the selling of intoxicating liquor to one John Johnson. On the 5th day of November, 1913, in accordance with the verdict of the jury, he was by the court sentenced to be confined in the county jail for a term of 90 days and to pay a fine of $50.
No briefs have been filed, and when the case was called for final submission no appearance was made on behalf of the plaintiff in error. Thereupon the Attorney General moved to affirm the judgment for failure to prosecute the appeal.
We have examined the record proper, and have discovered no error that will warrant a reversal of the judgment. The motion to affirm is therefore sustained.
