WILLIAMS, 0.

Upon a information charging him with the crime of felonious assault, under section 4481, Revised Statutes ‍​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‍1909, defendant was tried in the circuit court of Christian county. The jury returned the following verdict, signed by the foreman:

“We the jury find the defendant, Will Teague, guilty of common assault ‍​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‍and assess his punishment at $100 and costs.”

Judgment was entered on the verdict and thereafter the appellant was granted an appeal to this court. The Attorney-General has filed a motion to transfer ‍​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‍the cause to the Springfield Court of Appeals on the ground that the defendant was found guilty of a mis- ’ demeanor.

The motion must prevail. [State v. Woodson, 248 Mo. 705, l. c. ‍​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‍707; State v. Underwood, 254 Mo. 469, l. c. 470-1.]

It is therefore ordered that the case be transferred to the Springfield Court of Appeals, there to be heard and determined.

Boy, G., concurs. PER CURIAM

The foregoing ‍​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‍opinion of Williams, C., is adopted as the opinion of the court.

All of the judges concur.
