DAVIDSON, Judge.

Appellant was convicted for failing to work a public road. The judgment fails to show that the jury was selected, empaneled, and sworn. This is assigned as error. We think the point well taken. Article 831, Code Crim. Proc., provides that the judgment must show the selection, empaneling, and swearing of the jury. The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.

Reversed and Remanded.
