Court of Appeals of Texas·Decided May 12, 1883·No. No. 2785·Published

Opinion

White, Presiding Judge.

Howhere in this record is it shown that the jury which tried the case was sworn, and nowhere in the record is it made to appear that there was any plea of or for the defendant upon which the case was tried. It is needless to cite authorities—the books everywhere are full of them—to the effect that these facts must appear or the conviction cannot stand.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
