Per Curiam.

This was a prosecution against the appellees ‍‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍for “public indecency.”

On the trial the defendants were acquitted, but the State ‍‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍brings up the case upon points of law reserved during the progress of ‍‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍the trial. We have decided that there is no such offense as public ‍‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍indecency. Jennings v. The State, ante, p. 335. It follows that the record presents no legitimate ‍‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍question for our decision.

The appeal is dismissed.
