Opinion

EDWARDS, P. J.

The plaintiff in error was convicted in the district court of Tulsa county on a charge of arson, and was sentenced to serve a term of 18 months in the state penitentiary.

The judgment of conviction was rendered November 25, 1933, and the appeal was lodged in this court on April 10, 1934. No briefs, in support of the appeal have been filed and no appearance for oral argument was made at the time the case was submitted.

Where an appeal from a conviction for a felony is prosecuted to this court and no briefs in support of it are filed nor oral argument made, this court will not search the record tó discover some error upon which to predicate a reversal, but will examine the record for jurisdictional or fundamental, errors and. to ascertain if the evidence reasonably supports the verdict and judgment. In this case we have examined the record with care and have read closely the testimony., We find no jurisdictional or fundamental errors, and find ample evidence to sustain the verdict and judgment. The case is affirmed.

DAVENPORT and CHAPPELL, JJ., concur.
