Opinion of the Court — Davidson

DAVIDSON, Judge.

Appellant was convicted for unlawfully carrying a pistol.

The statement of facts contained in the record is not signed by the attorneys or approved by the court,' therefore it can not be considered. There were no bills of exception reserved, and all the questions presented for revision are contained in the motion for new trial. The first ground is, that the verdict of the jury is contrary to the law and the evidence wholly insufficient to support the verdict. This can not be considered because the evidence is not before us. The second and third grounds are urged to alleged error on the part of the court permitting witnesses McSween and Jennie Jones to testify to certain matters, but there are no bills reserved, therefore these matters are not reviewable.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
