Syllabus

<p>1. Criminal Law. Bail. Appeal. Code 1892, § 66.</p> <p>Where a defendant is convicted of a felony, the condition of his family and of the patients employing him as a physician furnishes no ground for granting his application for bail pending an appeal, under Code 1892, § 66, requiring the exercise of caution in granting bail after conviction.</p> <p>2. Same. Ill health. Concrete case.</p> <p>The refusal in this case of bail pending appeal after conviction of felony to a defendant forty-nine years of age, because of alleged ill health — consisting of heart disease, asthma, catarrh, and indigestion — was not an abuse of discretion.</p>
