J.\nAt tbe October Criminal Term, 1929, of Union Superior Court, tbe defendant herein, James Brumfield, was tried upon an indictment charging him with a capital felony, to wit, burglary in the first degree, wbicb resulted in a conviction and sentence of death. From tbe verdict thus rendered and judgment entered thereon, tbe defendant gave notice of appeal to tbe Supreme Court, but this has not been prosecuted as required by tbe rules. Indeed, as tbe attempted appeal is in forma pauperis, and tbe affidavit for leave to appeal without giving security for costs fails to state, as required by C. S., 4651, tbat \u201ctbe application is in good faith,\u201d it may be doubted as to whether we have any jurisdiction to bear tbe matter. S. v. Martin, 172 N. C., 977, 90 S. E., 502. Nevertheless, as tbe life of tbe prisoner is involved, we have examined tbe case and find no error on tbe face of tbe record.\nTbe motion of tbe State must be allowed.\nAppeal dismissed.",
