Appeal in forma pauperis.— The statute which authorizes an appeal in foi’ma pauperis, by permitting one desiring to appeal to the supreme court to make oath before the county judge of the county in which the appellant resides, has reference to county judges in Texas, and an oath of that character before the county judge of some county in another state, where the appellant may reside, is of no effect.</p>
