Appellants asked the trial court for an appeal and that prayer was denied. They did not thereafter apply to this court for an appeal, which procedure is authorized by Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 43-2709. The same situation was present in McKine v. State, 242 Ark. 384, 413 S. W. 2d 860 (1967). We there held that the granting of an appeal in criminal cases in accordance with the statutory procedure is a prerequisite to our consideration of the case.\nIf we were to reach the case on its merits a majority of the court would affirm.\nDismissed.",
