From this judgment the defendant gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court and was allowed the statutory time to make up and serve his ease on appeal; but, as appears from the record, the appeal was not perfected.\nThe Attorney-General, as his duty requires, filed a motion in this Court to docket and dismiss the appeal under Rule 17 for the stated cause, and filed therewith a transcript of the ease and certificate of the clerk of the Superior Court of McDowell County, setting forth the fact that no case on appeal has been filed in his office, and that the time allowed by the Court for perfecting the appeal has expired, and the same has not been perfected. S. v. Stovall, 214 N. C., 695, 200 S. E., 426; S. v. Watson, 208 N. C., 70, 179 S. E., 455. The defendant\u2019s petition for certiorari is denied for want of merit. The motion to dismiss the appeal must be allowed; but, as it is required to do by law in capital cases, this Court has diligently examined the record before it and, upon said record, finds no error.\nThe appeal is, therefore, dismissed. S. v. Day, 215 N. C., 566, 2 S. E. (2d), 569; S. v. Young, 216 N. C., 626.\nJudgment affirmed. Appeal dismissed.",
