KNIGHT, Justice.
This cause was tried on March 9, 1931, resulting in a verdict and judgment in favor of the defendant, appellee.
The bill of exceptions was approved on August 1, 1931. The appeal was taken on September 8, 1931, by the filing of an appeal bond.
The transcript, consisting of twenty-seven pages, was not filed in this court until April 4, 1935, and submitted on that day on the record as filed. There was no joinder in error by appellee.
The transcript filed in the cause, and on which the submission was had, does not contain a certificate of appeal, nor does it show the issuance, or service, of any citation of appeal.
