THOMAS, J.

¶1What purports to be a bill of exceptions found in the record contains no exceptions, and is consequently not a bill of exceptions, and presents no rulings of the lower court for review. Blackwell v. State, 8 Ala. App. 430, 62 South. 1034.

¶2The indictment contains three counts, one for burglary, one for grand larceny, and one for receiving stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen. There was a general verdict of guilty, and the court adjudged the defendant guilty of burglary, and sentenced him to the penitentiary for three years. In this there was no error. Cawley v. State, 37 Ala. 152; Johnson v. State, 50 Ala. 459; McGuff v. State, 88 Ala. 150, 7 South. 35, 10 Am. St. Rep. 25; Lucas v. State, 144 Ala. 63, 39 South. 822, 3 L. R. A. (N. S.) 412; Sampson v.
