There was verdict of guilty of rape as charged in the bill of indictment, upon which judgment of death as required by law was pronounced by the court.\nFrom this judgment defendant gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. Appeal bond in the sum of $50 was adjudged sufficient, unless upon the proper showing defendant be permitted to appeal in forma pauperis. Defendant was allowed fifteen days in which to make and to serve statement of case on appeal, and the State was allowed statutory time thereafter to make and serve countercase or file exceptions. The Clerk certifies that no case on appeal has been filed in his office, and that \u201cthe time agreed upon by counsel for perfecting the appeal\u201d has expired and the appeal has not been perfected, and says: \u201cI have inquired of counsel for defendant and have been informed by him that he does not intend to perfect the appeal.\u201d\nThe Attorney-General moves to docket and dismiss the case under Rule 17 of the Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court. 213 N. C., 808.\nIn the absence of apparent error upon the face of the record, the motion is allowed. S. v. Robinson, 212 N. C., 536, 193 S. E., 701; S. v. Baldwin, 213 N. C., 648, 197 S. E., 142; S. v.
