Melton & Melton, for plaintiffs in error.

J. Berry King, Atty. Gen., for the State.

DAVENPORT, P.J. The plaintiffs in error, hereinafter called defendants, were convicted of grand larceny, and each sentenced to serve a year and a day in the state penitentiary.

The case was tried in October, 1929, and the appeal lodged in this court in March, 1931. No briefs in support of the appeal have been filed, nor was there any appearance for oral argument at the time the case was submitted.

Where an appeal is prosecuted to this court, and no brief in support of the petition in error is filed, and no appearance for oral argument made, this court will examine the record for jurisdictional errors, and, if none appear, the case will be affirmed.
