Opinion

CATES, Judge.

This original action is in the nature of mandamus.

The prayer is for this court to order the circuit court to reduce the amount of Gray’s bond pending appeal of a conviction for rape.

The petition states that Gray was convicted of rape and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. The trial judge fixed bond at $10,000 to supersede execution pending appeal.

The petition fails to make out a case of the law’s commanding a lower amount. All the cases cited in argument apply to bail before conviction.

Petition dismissed.
