BRICKEN, Presiding Judge.

At the October term, 1935, of the Covington circuit court, the grand jury returned an indictment against appellant charging him with the offense of rape upon the woman named in the indictment. The indictment was in proper form and substance, and duly authenticated. At the same term of the court, the defendant was duly arraigned and interposed his plea of not guilty. Pie was convicted as charged and the jury, as the law requires, fixed his punishment at imprisonment for 10 years. Sentence was passed accordingly, and from the judgment of conviction this appeal was taken.

The court refused the general affirmative charge requested by the defendant, but this action of the court is not reviewable, in the absence of a bill of exceptions. The record upon which this appeal is predicated is regular and without error. The judgment of conviction from which this appeal was taken will stand affirmed.

Affirmed.
