WILLSON v. STATE. (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas. Nov. 2, 1904.) Appeal from District Court, Galveston County; J. K. P. Gillaspie, Judge. Manuel Willson was convicted of an offense before a justice of the peace. He appealed to the criminal district court, and from an order dismissing such appeal, he appeals. Reversed. Howard Martin, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

DAVIDSON, P. J. Conviction occurred in the justice court, and appeal was prosecuted to the criminal district court of Galveston county, where it was dismissed on account of defective appeal bond. We have carefully examined the appeal bond, and it seems to be in full compliance with Acts 27th Leg. 1901, p. 291, c. 124. See, also, Goree v. State (decided at the present term) 82 S. W. 515. We are therefore of opinion that the criminal district court erred in dismissing the appeal. Jurisdiction should have been entertained, and the case tried upon its merits. The judgment is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded.

ST. LOUIS & S. F. RY. CO. v. J. O. PRATT & CO. et al. (Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. Nov. 2, 1904.) Appeal from Bell County Court; G. M. Felts, Judge. Action by J. O. Pratt & Co. and others against the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway Company. From a judgment for plaintiffs, defendant appeals. Affirmed. Edgar Wright, H. D. McDonald, and L. F. Parker, for appellant. W. O. Cox, for appellees.

KEY, J. All the questions presented in this case have been duly considered. The clear and undisputed testimony shows that appellant was guilty of the negligence complained of; and, if the jury had found otherwise, it would have been the duty of the court to set such finding aside. This being the condition of the record, the complaints urged against the charge of the court are regarded as immaterial. The measure of damages given in the charge is not complained of. No reversible error is shown, and the judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.
