Winkler, J.

¶1The information, taken in connection with the affidavit upon which it was based, is sufficient to support the conviction.

¶2The application for a continuance was properly overruled.

¶3There being no statement of facts in the record, we cannot inquire into most of the errors complained of; and, in the absence of an assignment of errors in a misdemeanor case, we will only inquire into such errors as go to the foundation of the action.
