1. ““ * * * There appears to be no good reason why an appeal was taken in the case. We do not mean to be censorious of counsel for the appellant, but we do desire to express our disapproval of the practice prevalent in this state of appealing criminal cases to this court and then counsel for the appellant neglecting to perform the important duty of pointing out to this court any error upon which he relies to obtain a reversal of the judgment. The practice entails extra labor upon the court and takes up valuable time that might be devoted to other pressing duties of the court.””
