        "text": "Holt, J.\nMarch 20, 1947, appellant was tried in the municipal court of the city of Helena, Arkansas, on a charge of selling whiskey on Sunday. He was found guilty and a fine of $100 assessed. An appeal was prayed and granted to the circuit court.\nApril 29, 1947, transcript of the record was filed in the office of the circuit clerk. During the May term of the circuit court following, on May 7th, on motion of the prosecuting attorney, the court dismissed the appeal on the ground that the transcript was not filed within the thirty day period as provided in Act 323 of the Acts of Arkansas for 1939, and remanded the cause to the municipal court for further proceedings. This appeal followed.\nThe question presented is one of law. Did Act 323, supra, apply? Appellant argues that it did not. It is our view that the Act applied and that the judgment of the court below was correct.\nThe Act in question provides: \u201cSection 1. A party who appeals from a justice of the peace judgment.or a common pleas judgment or a municipal court judgment must file the transcript of the judgment in the office of the circuit court clerk within 30 days after the rendition of the judgment. If the transcript of the judgment is not filed within 30 days after the rendition of the judgment, execution can be issued against the signers of the appeal bond. Section 2 All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, etc. \u2019 \u2019\nThe Act applies both to misdemeanor and civil cases.\nIn the very recent case of Everett et al. v. Coleman, ante, p. 515, 201 S. W. 2d 30, we said: \u201cIn the recent case of French et al. v. Oliver, Mayor, ante, p. 484, 200 S. W. 778, Act 323, supra (meaning Act 323 of 1939), was held applicable in an appeal from a criminal conviction in a mayor\u2019s court, and we there said: \u00a3 The law plainly imposed on appellants the duty of filing the appeals within thirty days after their conviction; and, if they were unable to obtain the transcript from the mayor within that time, they should have, before the lapse of the thirty-day period, applied to tlie circuit court for a rule ou the mayor to require him to deliver the transcript to appellants for filing.\u2019 \u201d\n\u201cThis Act (323 of 1939) is not only mandatory, but is jurisdictional. \u2019 \u2019 Lytle v. Hill, 205 Ark. 789, 170 S. W. 2d 684.\nThe duty of filing the transcript in the office of the circuit clerk within thirty days after the rendition of the judgment in the municipal court, from which the appeal was taken, was imposed upon the party appealing from the judgment. (French v. Oliver, supra.)\nSince the transcript of the record in the municipal court was not filed with the clerk of the circuit court until more than thirty days after the date of the judgment in the municipal court, the judgment must he, and is, affirmed.",
