BROWN, J.

¶1All the record in this case shows is the organization of the court, the indictment, writ of arrest, appeal bond, bill of exceptions, and appearance bond. There is nothing except the bill of exceptions to show that the appellant has ever been tried. In short, the record does not show a judgment of conviction, which is necessary to support an appeal.Allen v. State, 141 Ala. 35, 37 South. 393.

¶2The appeal must therefore be dismissed.
