C., 659, 65 S. E., 762), or if we should regard the present motion as an application for writ of certiorari to bring up the appeal, it would avail the prisoner nothing, for, as previously stated, the case was considered on its merits, notwithstanding the defects in the record, and no reversible error discovered.\nThe reasons assigned by counsel for the condition of the record are quite sufficient to acquit them of any neglect, but it would serve no useful purpose to redoeket the case only to affirm it again.\nMotion disallowed.",
