Opinions
Conviction is for the manufacture of intoxicating liquor with punishment of one year in the penitentiary.
Appellant seeks enlargement from custody pending appeal upon a bond purported to have been executed in conformity to Article 904 or our C. C. P. The bond is approved by the sheriff only. It *146 fails to also have the approval of the trial judge. In this respect it is defective, and no jurisdiction was conferred upon this court by-reason thereof. See Article 904 C. C. P., Chumley v. State, 83 Texas Crim. Rep., 54, 201 S. W., 176; King v. State, 83 Texas Crim. Rep., 304, 203 S. W., 52; Johnson v. State, 83 Texas Crim. Rep., 376, 203 S. W., 903; Gray v. State, 88 Texas Crim. Rep., 1, 224 S. W., 513.
For the defect in the bond heretofore pointed out this appeal must be dismissed.
Dismissed.
