Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Jurisdiction op Supreme Court — Error op Law — Supervisory Powers.</p> <p>Where, in a criminal case appealed from a mayor’s court, to the district court, the parties went to trial, and on objection made, the district judge ruled that the affidavit, not having-been sworn to, furnished no basis for the prosecution, and therefore discharged the accused and canceled his bond, held, that the court having jurisdiction, and the proceedings being regular, the case presented merely an alleged error of law, over which the Supreme Court has no appellate jurisdiction, and which does not call for the exercise of its extraordinary supervisory powers.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see vol. 15, Cent. Dig-. Criminal Law, §§ 2572-2580.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
