Art. 866, C. C. P., provides as follows:
“In the cases provided for in the two preceding articles, the proceedings shall be regulated by the same rules that govern civil actions where an appeal is taken or a writ of error sued out.”
The State’s Attorney has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal and it appears that no brief was filed in the trial court, nor is there any waiver of said filing shown to have been made by the attorneys for appellee.
