¶1The defendant was convicted of larceny of a gold watch of the value of $50 from the person of Charles Reiley in the nighttime, at the July term, 1895, of the criminal court of Greene county. The indictment was sufficient and all the proceedings regular. He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment. He was allowed sixty days from August 22, 1895, to file a bill of exceptions. The transcript was certified to this court on November 19, 1895, and discloses that defendant declined to avail himself of this privilege. It follows that as no error whatever can be found in the record proper the judgment must be and is accordingly affirmed.

— Hon. J. J. Gideon, Judge. (1) The court can only examine the record proper in this case, for the reason that nothing else is preserved. The record bears evidence that the trial, together with all other proceedings, was regular. (2) The indictment is in the usual form, and clearly charges the crime of which the defendant has been convicted. R. S. 1889, section 3537.
