DAVIDSON, P. J.

¶1On motion of the Assistant Attorney General, the appeal in this ease must be dismissed. The recognizance is insufficient, in that it fails to state the amount of the punishment. The statute requires that this shall be done.

¶2For the reason indicated, the motion to dismiss the appeal is sustained.
